26th April 2012

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.

96 Grasshopper Warbler
97 Stockdove
98 Little Gull

The best news however its about 1 mile from home.

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.

After two weeks of searching with binnoculars no luck , passing the area I had
