a shot through the windscreen the cockersand area swans where widely fragmented today scattered over seven fields between the south end of jeremy lane off both sides of moss lane and through to distant fields behind the north side of bank end farm i estimated a total of at least 400 whooper swan probably being a peak count in the area this winter according to my records plover scar was pretty quiet though two mutt minders were in the area with 12 animals running riot i noted about 20 turnstone and 15 knot three cormorant were roosting on the railings on the lighthouse and 6 meadow pipit seen a male stonechat was in the rough grasses again behind bank houses as it has been through this winter when i called in to the lune estuary 4 hours after i had been to conder pool the flock of 1 500 black tailed godwit had returned here after the tide had receded but a more interesting sight was that of 17 avocet along the shoreline to the conder mouth also a decent count of at least 450

stonechat playing hide and seek in the long grasses behind bank houses where i spent a little time behaving like someone hunting down the owls and raptors for a picture without success todays big miss came when i drove past haresnape s farm twice on the way to and returning from cockersand and failed to spot 135 russian white fronted geese on the north side of the farm fbc whatsapp the pink footed geese were dropping into the field north side of cockersand abbey as i arrived on a recent visit here bewick s swans ian walker on the receiving end of a heads up about some swans at cockerham i went

continued down the road to bank end to gain the brief view of a stunning male black redstart before flying off to disappear amongst the farm buildings then standing around for an hour to see if it returned i ll leave that story there then thanks to paul ellis for the excellent image of this stunning bird this female black redstart i found on the flood defences 21 years ago at fluke hall in
