31st May Cold Edge

Strange new species seen filming a cow pat at Cold Edge today.

9 species of waders were once again enjoying the low water levels, this will remain until the jet ski club raise £30, 000 to plug the gap. Thanks to health and safety for once.

No nothing out of the ordinary. Has anybody been watching the Whiteholme - Lighthazzles area, it usually turns up some good waders during May.

I've been away most of May but I went up last week and saw...a Common Sandpiper and a Mallard. Didn't check Blackstone Edge though.

@DJS - This is the truly glamorous side of natural history film-making. I won't tell you what I ended up getting covered in, but it was worth it. I've got some cracking shots of Scatophaga Dung Flies riding piggyback on the pat, and some beetle species burrowing into it.
