Sand Martin at EGP 17/03/09

3 over the ski lake from 08:30 until 09:15 at least this morning. In addition were:
2 Little Grebe
6 Cormorant (5 1st year & 1 sinensis type looking adult)
1 Grey Heron
2 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull
20 Lesser Redpoll feeding on alder

Elsewhere, lots of earth moving taking place at Ringstone and 3 Mallard on the water

A pair of Goosander at Deanhead and 1 tough Little Grebe that has been on Scammonden Water since last autumn, 4 Grey Heron still around that have been nest building (or attempting to) in trees on the west bank for the past week or so plus 2 Oystercatcher on a boating holiday.

Glad to hear there's some earthmoving going on at Ringstone, its phase 2 of the habitat creation project.
