Stewartby Sewage Works.

This Grey wagtail was showing well, on the friday 3rd april, on the sewage tanks along with around four Pied wagtails. Also feeding over the tanks were 30+ Swallows and a few Sand martins.

Willington.

Myself and Sarah took a walk around here this morning, on the fishing lake we saw the single Common Sandpiper. On the main water there were good numbers of Wigeon, a pair of Oystercatcher flew over and there were 15+ Sand martins. A pair of Shelduck on the pit to the left as you walk from the stile and around the surrounding bushes and trees at least 6 Chiffchaff.
