Week 40 was a quiet week, at work butterfly species seen were Speckled Wood plenty on these still on the wing with a couple of Commas. Bird wise a couple of Jays making there presence known with the loud squawking as they went around the small wooded area. Friday the 8th saw me at Sands Lane Gravel Pits for a couple of hours mainly digiscoping the Black Headed Gulls present along with Mute Swan, Canda Geese, Greylag Geese [3], Pochard [1♀], Mallard, Grey Heron, Pied Wagtail [3 over]. Lapwing [c70], Lesser Black Backed Gull [2], Common Gull [1].
Saturday the 9th a couple of uneventful hours at Old Moor we never did find the Garganey or Little Stint but Dunlin, Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Lapwing, Golden Plover and Snipe were all seen.
