Friday 9th

Back to Friday, I had a morning in Sherwood (locating several singing Tree Pipits and Garden Warblers), and then bombing round Collingham before driving over to Liverpool; there was a Common Sand on Ferry Lane Lake, and 4 Ringed Plovers and 3 Dunlin on Mons Pool, as well as a total of 28 Gadwall around the site (26 of which were males). Worryingly, a dead Shelduck was on Mons Pool - I'm not sure how it met its end...
