Hello Mr Carter- in case you go online in migrant-infested Lesvos I am posting this to assure you that you haven't missed much here this afternoon, at least if my efforts were owt to go by...
The highlight was a good swallow passage through the parish. I counted 88 north in an hour-long tern vigil opposite 'gull bank'.
Freeman's pools had an almighty four tufted ducks (2 'pairs') and a drake teal. A few swifts and house martins feeding here also.
Circa 8 lesser and 4 common whitethroats were in evidence but not particularly vocal in the breezy gloom.
Nothing much by the wildfowler pools or on the dog-filled marsh... I had to resort to going south of the parish boundary to pick up whimbrels, for example.
Dan.
Welcome to Aldcliffe & Freeman's Wood, Lancaster - an area of the Lune Estuary in Morecambe Bay, North Lancs.
