Apart from a couple of Whimbrel in the harbour, the Mute Swan still sitting on (a nest maybe) on New Island and a pair of Common Terns on Tern Island it was all very quiet. The lone apple tree has considerable amount of blossom this year ( at least on 50% of the tree the other 50% appears to be dead or dying)...
Apple blossom |
Mid morning produced an easterly movement of Swifts |
Swift action is needed to capture these birds in flight! |
An afternoon walk to the North Wall produced very few waders except Whimbrel .The Slipe Field 'dog walk' had a number of Whitethroats singing.
One thing that did catch my eye was a large notice board erected on the eastern side of Church Farm...
Can you spot the error? One of several actually!
