I've had a group of 3 hanging around behind my garden for a while now. Biggest group I've seen in the Valley for quite a long time.

May saw us clock up 95 species 5 being year ticks, Red throated diver, Spotted Flycatcher, Hobby, Ringed Plover and Sanderling. The Diver was not only a year tick but a fantastic addition to the Valley List found on the All Dayer by Tim Hextell and Matt Hadlington. Also seen in the Month the second Wood Sandpiper of the year, Dunlin, Grasshopper Warbler and Shelduck
