      Did you get any audio of wingbeats or was it too windy?

        LDBWS Feeding Station 0900 2 degrees Celsius, bright.

        Linnet 15
        Reed Bunting 10
        Chaffinch 9
        Stock Dove 2
        Brambling 2

        Now that the field has been ploughed the Linnets are more inclined to use the tables rather than the ground feeding– has anyone got any niger seed or sunflower hearts going spare they could donate? Linnets eating both at the moment. Reply here or email me via [email protected] if so. Thanks!

                *Recreational Disturbance Event:

                Time and Date: 1630 21/3/22

                Site: Conder Green

                Form of disturbance: single dog walker with one dog

                Birds seen to be disturbed / description of disturbance: 60 Wigeon, 4 Avocets, 4 Shelduck, 10+ Redshank, 2+ Oystercatchers forced to take flight when dog walker (having accessed saltmarsh from Glasson) reached edge of Conder creek at SD454561 Wigeon were displaced c800m. The dog was off-lead but not out of control– indicating that mere presence at such sensitive spots (well away from public rights of way) is enough to create problems.

                    If you would like to document recreational disturbance of birds in coastal / estuarine parts of our district please add them to the website in a format similar to the above.

                    I will then forward them to Mandy Knott– the Coastal Lead Adviser for Morecambe Bay, Wyre and Lune Estuaries for
                    Natural England. Mandy is keen to receive them and factor them into plans for minimizing recreational disturbance.
