New Hythe lakes,May 7th.

Weather,cloudy and windy,westerly.

I looked in at the lakes during the afternoon,the wind by then had become stronger.Good numbers of Swifts 100+,with 20+ Sand Martin and 4 House Martin ,were flying about in the area of the wader scrape and Tesco Lake.I also noticed that a Nightingale has now turned up in habitat used in past years by the entrance to the sewage works,making my count to 20 singing birds.
