Decided to visit Lound today, the scene of some of my early birdwatching trips. It's safe to say that it has altered somewhat. Some of the original pits have been filled in and have crops growing in them - including the one that held a Bairds Sandpiper one memorable day several years ago (23rd August 1998)
The weather was nice and warm which I enjoyed for several hours
highlights included
Willow Warbler (to many to count)
Skylark 4
Shelduck (good numbers)
Lapwing
Mute Swan c50
Cormorant c12
Whitethroat (everywhere)
Reed Bunting
Sedge Warbler (about 6)
Gadwall c30
Grey Heron 3
Little Ringed Plover 4
Common Tern 3
Blackcap
Lesser Whitethroat 3
Kestrel 3
Nightingale 1 heard but not seen
Chiffchaff about half a doen
Redshank 2
Teal 1
Dunlin 1
Ringed Plover 1
Sand Martin c30
Goldeneye 1 female
Swallow 1
Also saw a Buzzard near Drakeholes on my way - think that's in Notts too
