At Manor Farm this morning, 2 LRP, 4 Green Sand, 1pr Shelduck, 41 Fieldfare, 17 Mipits & 25 Pied Wags.At Willen, 7 Goldeneye, 1 each of Oyc & Redshank, and c75 Sand Martins moved through quickly.
At Broughton Grounds, 2 each of Ringed and Little Ringed Plovers. Each were pairs acting territorially, with the LRP's indulging in a delightful courtship display too. The speed of development of the Brooklands estate is such that I fear these plovers won't have a successful breeding season, although the area they have chosen doesn't look marked for any houses or roads just yet. To my untrained eye, it looks like it could be part of a linear park linking with the new coachway.
At CMK, 1m Wheatear & 9 Linnet (Rob Hill)
