Maxey Cut

An early morning stroll with Henry down the Maxey Cut this morning, (5 May). A little ringed plover on the Martin Pit and lots of sand martin activity around the nest sites.

There were two wheatears on the bund at Etton - Maxey, a male and a female. Also 2 oystercatcher, 3 singing garden warbler around the Old Pits and the Cetti's warbler again singing loudly from the SW corner of the Old Pits.

I was lucky enough on 3 May to get back in time from my weekend in Sheffield to see the red-rumped swallow at Ferry Meadows!

Mick Beeson reports the Ouzel at Swaddywell was there until the evening of 3 May, making that the 8th day it has been with us! Still 2-3 wheatear there too.
