1st butterfly of the year at NDC

 A couple of hours birding down at North Duffield Carrs. 5 lapwings and a golden plover and then they flew off as a marsh harrier flew over

3 oystercatchers and several curlew. The curlew were calling as they flew but have not quite got into full song yet, the end bit seems to be missing. A few teal in a corner near the farm along with 3 pairs of shoveler and a single male stonechat was the total for the afternoon.
