From Toby Middlemist:
This morning I visited Picton Point, lots of great birds. I was
very excited to find a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker calling in a Conifer
Wood. Sadly no Osprey, but a few calling Whimbrels and the last of the
Winter Wildfowl were nice.
Yesterday at Higgons' Well great
to see a pair of Shelduck in a gull roost. Although they supposedly
breed in the area, I've never seen them this far up the river before.
