I thought I had found them but discovered not. Archie apparently had 7 earlier (?).

Also at Clowbridge between c 9.30 and 11.00

2 whimbrels went straight through north 10ish

2 common sandpipers

4 swifts

On the way there/back:

Probably 2 grasshopper warblers Greenfold, 2 lapwings, 1 curlew, 2 wheatears

Between Goodshaw Fold and Rough Hill 1 singing whitethroat and 3 fieldfares - I'm fairly sure these are my latest spring birds
