Some of the 44 Bewick Swans present this morning
A flock of c200 Fieldfare and a few Redwing were at Midley today little else of note. The Divers were still on Burrowes but again little else of note, a ring tail Hen Harrier has been seen at several locations around the peninsula in the last couple of days. All the egrets can still be found with Cattle Egrets preferring the airport approach road fields. The 4 Glossy Ibis are still being elusive being seen mainly in flight around, ARC, Tower Pits, Boulderwall and the Horse Paddocks. I spent another hour staring at 1,000s of Golden plovers on the Scotney sward to no avail, just a few Dunlin among them.
