Eyes Lane/Sollom
Report from yesterday (Saturday). Spent from 11.00-15.00hrs there, including a slow walk around the large field and along the old course of the river to Sollom. I'd gone looking to see the Black-tailed Godwits but when I arrived they were none, my fault for not getting up early! Floods: Lapwing>150,...

Also heard Goldfinch and 1 Bullfinch calling in the woods next to Big Lodge. Great Crested Grebe takes my tot...

I did see a Robin moving around at and near ground level near here. Its worth listening for a Cetti's here, especially a bit later in the year -...
