Thought i had a raft of Gadwall until i realised they were plastic amongst the plastic canada decoyshmm.gif trust them to be shooting Canada's when i pop down.

Still at least 9 Wigeon back left feeding in the vegetation. Interesting watching a Sparrowhawk chasing young moorhens along the edge forcing them to dive under the water, not much else about though.

Sounds good. Any new wader would be nice at the moment.

By the way the application to buy the land around the res to build a golf course have been rejectedbiggrin.gif

Yeah Jimmy i also was told its supposed to be for breeding lapwing.

Pretty much same as you Simon plus a Sedge Warbler and 2 Shoveller.

Still not seen that Winchatcry.gif it must see me coming and take cover on the other side of the island.

Good to hear about the new scrapes, should bring the waders flooding in.

There is a public footpath through Stan's farm running down to the water's edge there, so there shouldn't be any problem with seeing anything that's counted there. Care might be needed though - a hide or screen might not be a bad idea. I'll see if Tony Johnson can do anything.

Whinchat - left island still
12 Snipe
20 Lapwing
8 Teal
3 Little grebe
5 Grey Herons
Few Jackdaws
1 Juv G C Grebe still
Fem Sparrowhawk

Of Interest Judith, spoke to a chap at Rumworth today Fred Lovall from Bolton Conservation Volunteers who told me that they are digging out a scrape on Stan Terrys land at the back of the res, JCB's due to arrive today. Dont know what size they will be and how viewable they will be but looks like they are doing quite abit of work on his land soonbiggrin.gif Sounds like a really environmentally friendly farmer, putting in some more hedges and ditches and he avoids use of pesticides etc.So we shall see what happens.

Geoff, look on the "County sites and maps" part of the website, some directions on there, park on Beaumont Road(A58) adjacent to the Res where you will see a pull in and a stile then just walk down accross the field and view from around the trees to avoid disturbance.

Oh and its Warfy biggrin.gif
