Wigeon on main pit
Buzzard
Peregrine
Lapwing
With all the exciting Gulls around we are all hoping for our own at the pits but no luck as yet. My only visit was early Saturday with a day of more birthday celebrations. 2 Lapwing were in the field with the Greylag & Canada Geese before I checked out Pophills. The first bird to catch my attention was a Male Peregrine sat on the bank below the barn. He treated me to a great fly past as he headed for his breakfast. There was no sign of the Green Sandpiper so I headed over the main pit where only new arrivals were 7 Wigeon on the far side. The good viewing conditions then got worse as the temperature dropped and the fog came down but not before the Squire recorded two Snipe behind the bund.
Midweek birds recorded were three Goosander, two adult Yellow-legged Gulls, 7 Pochard, 72 Lapwing, 2 Green Sandpipers & a Merlin (C Lane & P Hands).
At Abbots Salford there were 5 Goosanders and two Kingfishers reported by A Woodward whilst Mike Inskip found a flock of 50 Golden Plover at Brickmarsh on the other side of the river.
