6th April - Sunny am, broken cloud pm with breeze sleet showers, mod NW breeze, 6C, but feeling (cold) like 2C

Cotesbach landfill; a look here after lunch, but the wind was most keen and cold so a sheltered spot was a premium.  Wildfowl included Shelduck, Teal, Tufted, Shoveler, Mallard and Canada Goose.  A single Little Grebe was spotted.

Most Gulls were distant on the tip area, though it does seem the number of Black-headed Gulls has dropped.  Still plenty of the larger Gulls though.

A couple of Swallows and Sand Martins were low over the pools, trying to find food.  Yesterdays male Wheatear was still present and feeding in the lee of the wind.
