Now the wind has moderated its starting to feel like summer here. House and Sand Martins, Swallows and Sedge Warbler and Skylark singing.  Whitethroat, Wheatears, Meadow Pipits and Linnets around the old Sandplant and a dozen Lesser Redpolls fliying north over Hesketh Golf Course, and a Whimbrel calling over Rimmers Marsh.

12 Avocets with 3 on nests and 2 very young Mallard chicks continue the feel but still about 3,00 Pink Foots around and  about 400 Golden Plover.
