A visit to the very new Adwick Washlands RSPB reserve which is still an ongoing construction although suspended for breeding season gave me three more ticks. This flood plain for the River Dearne which was under cultivation is being reverted back to flood plain and will be fabulous as it changes. With many species present already.

The torrential rain we have experienced in UK for two weeks is causing lots of flooding and raised water levels for nesting waders in our area.
Visits to 2 local reserves brought 4 more ticks. Broomhill Flash. 99 Swift 100 Yellow Wagtail Old Moor RSPB 101 Peregrine 102 Lesser Whitethroat John |
