Thursday 19th May

Definitely a bit of a "June doldrums" feel to the Meadow now though there are still some passage waders going through: the 16 RINGED PLOVER and 4 DUNLIN were still about on my morning run though by the evening the counts were down to 4 and 1 respectively so either the original flock split up or this was a new batch in. The GREENSHANK was still around as was the usual OYSTERCATCHER and there was a single male YELLOW WAGTAIL also around.

The Hinterland is look very pretty at the moment with a whole sea of buttercups all the way up to Wolvercote (c) Adam Hartley
