3rd May - cloudy am, rain and S wind freshening from midday, blustery (20mph) late, 8C

The unseasonal weather continues, with a low moving across from the west bring unsettled weather and still very cool. 

Cotesbach Landfill/Shawell lagoons; 

A look this morning, only about 100 Gulls present, due to no tipping activity today and over the weekend.  No Teal, or Shoveler seen today, the three Egyptian Geese still.  A Common Sandpiper at the lagoons feeding and a male Kestrel hunting.  A pair of Green Woodpeckers were around the landfill sandpit area.

Orton-on-the-Hill; was going to explore this area today and had hoped for a nice Spring day.  As it was I had a brief look before the weather deteriorated.  I did seen a Whinchat sitting atop a hedgerow.
