White Wagtails around Dengemarsh
There have been up to 30 White Wagtails around Dengemarsh, but I've still not found a Yellow Wagtail but they have been reported. Garganey seem to be in view just about every time you lift your binoculars at Dengemarsh and Boulderwall, at least 12 today, also 5 Glossy Ibis that are being a little camera shy, the 4 Cattle Egrets seem to have moved to Boulderwall for last 2 days. Little Egret numbers seem to be building but as is usual this time of year the Great White Egrets seem to be moving on. I guess with the onset of cold weather spring will be put on hold.
