Not so great

It was evident yesterday that the Oystercatcher had deserted their nest on Sandford, with no obvious reason, but perhaps nearby geese, or newly arrived Black-headed Gulls nesting attempts proved too much aggression for them? Hopefully it is early enough for them to try again?
Here is the pair on LFGP yesterday;


Also of note is 2-4 Lapwing that may also be thinking about a late attempt, the latter will need a break from the corvid harassment they generally get....we are working on that and with the old Linpac industrial park being demolished later this year, we will also lose the Herring & Lesser Black-backed Gulls as predators for 2014 breeding season
