A long walk around Scotney also found a ring tail Hen Harrier, 4 Green Sandpipers, 3 Tree Sparrows, 5 Corn Buntings, Little Owl and the usual wildfowl. Apparently the Long-tailed Duck is on the back lakes and I managed to walk past it! 1,000s of Lapwing and Golden Plover out the back, also a few Curlew 3+ Ruff, Peregrine, Merlin, Common Buzzards and Marsh Harriers and several Cetti's Warblers.
Late afternoon on the reserve the Glossy Ibis still present at Cooks Pool, 5+ Caspian Gulls came into roost including a yellow ringed Polish 2w bird.
