North Bank Sewage Works

Got back to my fave winter patch today and very productive it was too. The effect of a bit of effluent warmth was clear to see although I might have expected more birds present. There were rather fewer Moorhens than expected and only about 10 Redshank, 5 Snipe and 3 Green Sandpipers. A female Sparrowhawk was making frequent visits and that might be keeping numbers lower.
