Besthorpe North

A quick look at Besthorpe NWT North late this arvo didn't reveal much, although there was an Oystercatcher and several Lapwing in the bare field on the north side of the access road, a Yellow Wag flew over, and there were 54 Southern Marsh Orchids in their usual spot on the southern bank of the Eon Lagoon, at the western end.

I then accessed Mons Pool from the north for a change, rather than via Collingham Pits, seeing a pair of Shoveler and the female Shelduck brooding her young (it was raining, again). Best was a Gropper reeling in the south-west corner of Besthorpe Meadow SSSI.
