LRPs back on the patch
Spending most of the bank holiday weekend in France on a stag do meant my birding was limited to a quick trip out to Collingham Pits and Mons Pool this afternoon. All the Whoopers appeared to have left the field west of Ferry Lane Lake (a flock of 40+ reported yesterday flying north over Normanton-on-Trent may well have been the same birds?), but there was a nice drake Goosander on the lake itself. Best though was a Little Ringed Plover which flew over Ferry Lane Lake calling before heading south towards Langford, with another on Mons Pool (with a pair of Ringed Plovers) - my first summer migrants of the year.

Just a quick note to say thanks for the blog. We were visiting Newark this weekend and looked online for where we might get some birding in - and found your blog. As a result we had a very nice afternoon at Besthorpe NWT reserve.
