While some waders have been on territory for a few weeks ... many are still on the move ... at Hallbankgate a flock of around 200 Golden Plovers linger on short turf ...
... the Whimbrel passage was just starting a week ago with a single bird along with thirty Curlews on the Solway ...
... not far from here a few weeks ago a single partially leucistic Lapwing was something of a novelty ...
... and some new arrivals at Siddick Pond yesterday with a Little Ringed Plover ...
... and two Common Sandpipers ...
Chiffchaff, Willow Warblers and Blackcaps were all singing in the pleasant sunshine although none showed as well as this Wren ...
Sandwich Terns were fishing from a buoy well offshore at Workington ...
The North Pennines were springing into life with Stonechats back on territory up to 475m altitude while a Raven stood guard near the nest ...
... and some smart Wheatears working their way into the higher ground now ...
