Painful passage with very little showing: Rhaslas; 2 male shoveler and a curlew were probably the best today, a passage male little ringed plover was noted on the 25/03/15 [earliest for this site] zero since, ringtail on the 30/03/15 [with S Phelps who had a ringtail same place on the 23/03/15 (weird how the best birder in Wales states that this site isn't suitable for HH)], first and only swallow sighting[2] flying north on the 03/04/15.
Not much else noted on the high plains except; first wheatear at Incline Pond on the 23/03/15, a great black backed pair still present around my patch, herring and lesser black backed gull setting up roof breeding sites, first male reed bunting holding territory and a male stonechat with exceptionally large white wing bars (?). Oh and the local dog walkers still insisting on walking through a historical lapwing breeding colony [attemp to breed] while the various groups of people paid relatively good wages to protect the nests of breeding birds refuse to do anything about it.
Great to see you posting mike and alway nice to know what happen at Rhaslas
