Where are the waders

The only migrant wader at Mons Pool first thing this morning was a Common Sandpiper. In addition, 8 small wader sp flew north, rather distantly; all I could tell about them was that they didn't have black bellies. I suspect Ringed Plovers, but I'll never know. A calling Cuckoo was again present, but the Turtle Dove was silent.

Later in the morning, a nice walk at Kirton Wood to look at the bluebells and early purple orchids paid dividends with a Raven kronking over - a county yeartick, and a bird I'd been wondering where I was going to see!
