Hey up folks, before we get to Utch I've got to first of all congratulate the new holder of the record for the fastest ton in Cheesedale Birdin' history, young Mad Malc'. He's hit the ton a full three weeks earlier than the previous record set by moi in 2005 with a Marsh Harrier at Croxden. Young Malc' hit the mark last night with a singin' Gropper where I work!!! No real surprise there, last year there was two singin' birds there. I wasn't completely put to shame, I've hit the ton myself today with two year ticks in the form of singin' Garden and Reed Warblers at Croxden. Not bad eh?
Also at Croxden today were: 2 Mandarins, 6 LRP's and 2 Curlew.
Utch 1810-2000
The female Scaup showed well this evening on the main pit, it seems like it may have paired up with a male tufty so we may have some interestin' aythas knockin' about locally later in the year. Still 6 Goosander and 2 Mandarins were again on the stream. Nothin' new on the wader front but still 6 Common Sand's around.
Scaup 1, Mandarin 2, Goosander 6, Shelduck 4, Common Sand' 6, LRP 6, Oyst' 1, Curlew 1, Yellow Wag' 3, White Wag' 3.
The weather forecast looks promising for tomorrow so it'll be a dawn raid on Utch, then back for brekkie before probably spendin' the rest of the day back at Utch to see if owt drops in.
That's all folks.
