Had a stroll around this yesterday morning, but not that much to get excited. One thing is that the Setaside has attracted some really good numbers of Chats. Be good to see how the pool at the bottom of Long Wood works this year once some rain falls!

Walk from bread lane to Atherington carpark. Then East to the Mill along the shingle. (AH) 

Still some good waves of Swallows and House Martins overhead at all times. Lots of Meadow Pipits in the fields either side of the path heading to the sea.
