Birdin in the merry month of May

arrived at Stockers farm prior to a bailiff patrol I was astounded to find a Whimbrel on the flooded field.

It stayed a while I rang Paul Lewis as he arrived it took off calling good to confirm call but not for Paul behind me a Common Whitethroat was calling from the overhead wires.

I continued my patrol around Stockers lake and heard my first Cuckoo of the year and the breeding birds were in full swing from warblers to geese 

While on patrol along the River Colne some trees were down and need attention,concluded patrol.
