Most birds as previous report with the addition of a family party of LLTs hard to count but looked to be about 4 young. 1 Grey Wagtail, unusual just here. 1 Stock Dove in my garden.....I seem to attract pigeons of all types...just need a Turtle Dove for the full set, but I won't hold my breath.

It has been said that a white tailed sea eagle has been active in this area and has been seen over Ogden having feasted on trout fisheries in the area, IS THIS A MYTH OR WHAT?

I heard a cuckoo this morning from Ogden, the first of the summer! The sandpiper nest is still ok.
