No Smews is bad news

Called in at North Cave Wetlands at lunchtime to see if the f. Smew was still there. Despite being quite a long stayer, the bird wasn't showing and no reports of it were received today. Never mind, a cup of tea, a bacon butty and a slice of Angie's famed Bakewell tart were more than compensation.

Plenty of birds about though including good numbers of Lapwing, Redshank, Shelduck and Oystercatcher. 

We're off to Gorple tomorrow to see if the Water Pipit is still there. It was first seen last Thursday and was still there today, here's hoping it's not two "dippers" in two days!
