Garganey and swarms of sand martins at Pennington Flash


The pair of garganey which commutes between Lightshaw and Pennington Flash was today at the latter and showing well just off the spit near the still closed Horrock's hide. Also today around 3000 sand martins and my first house martin of the year. Lightshaw was pretty quiet, just the now regular four black-tailed godwits.

  1. Hoping to be over soon and get to Pennington, are all the hides closed?

  2. Hi Derek, yes all still closed I'm afraid. Not sure when they'll re-open but I would have thought by June at the latest. There can't be many places better ventilated than Horrock's hide!
