The first Hirundine arrives

 

Another evening visit to Tucklesholme today produced the first Sand Martin of the year, this was only a single bird which was following the river Trent. On the main pit the five Little Ringed Plovers were still present along with the five Ringed Plovers, also a single Redshank was on the west shore as well as two Shelduck.

On the main pit there have been large numbers of Pied Wagtails about 10 - 15 birds and on todays visit we managed to find two White Wagtails a subspecies of the Pied Wagtail with a all grey back not glossy black..
