My usual field off Hall Lane, Aspull.  Pair of Curlew last week, Oystercatchers and  Mediterranean Gulls daily. Highlight this morning was a brief visit of a single Common Ringed Plover, first for me in this area.  Late afternoon, Ringed Plover returned with juvenile.

Any problems with the site from now on and we know who to blame

Do theatrical traditions apply to websites?
