One of three Firecrests in Dengemarsh Gully today
A walk from Springfield Bridge to Dengemarsh Gully found 4 Corn Buntings, a fly over Fieldfare, 4 Song Thrushes flushed and at least 3 Firecrests in the Gully, but little else in the blustery conditions. The Spoonbill was back at Dengemarsh where 6 Cattle Egrets were with the cattle also a single Ruff there. Another 6 Cattle Egrets were at Boulderwall, 2 Glossy Ibis and the Long-tailed Duck were on the ARC.
