Hi Geoff

Some waders don't seem to stick around long in spring and its easy to miss stuff in those bunches of sedge around the back pool.

Today (Monday 13th) I had the following

2 Little Ringed Plover (missed on the last 3 visits in the last week)
2 Ruff
1 Green sandpiper
4 Redshank
2 Snipe
2 Yellow wagtails
1 Swallow, no other hirundines.
