Leeshaw

Saturday April 27th a.m.
 This morning had a wintry feel with a temperature of 2°C at Leeshaw & with sleet
showers conditions were difficult for birding.We still saw some good birds with
there being Canadas,Greylags,Mallards,LBB Gull,Curlew,Lapwing,Oystercatcher &
Pied Wagtail present.We just saw one male Wheatear with four Cormorants jockeying
for position on top of the tower.Also we were pleased to see 3 Redshanks on a wall
which was close enough for some snaps.We then went to Leeming report to follow.

  2. Pleased with it so far, the Redshanks let us get fairly close though.
