The day before, on the 19th March, Sarah and I visited Bev's Birdland so I could drop off some stuff for the next day. Whilst there we located a single Little Ringed Plover and luckily for me it was still there the next day for me get a shot for the diary. The Ringed Plovers still numbered 3 birds with one sat up the scrape. The Oycs' were still mobile between the two lakes but seemed content on the cleared island. Just one pair of Redshank were seen and a new addition the previous day were two Linnets feeding on the western side of the lake. There were a few Lesser Black Backed Gulls that seemed to be ready to set up nesting on the newly cleared island too.
