Hey up folks family commitments meant an afternoon visit was the best I could hope for today. I've never been a fan of birdin' at this least active part of the avian day and today was typical with very little of note apart from a single Hobby causing havoc along the east coast and a juv' Peregrine flappin' around aimlessly.
A single juv' Dunlin was the only new wader today and that didn't stay long after the Hobby went over.
Curlew 11, Oyst' 10, Green Sand' 2, Common Sand' 2, Dunlin 1 juv', Hobby 1, Peregrine 1 juv', Yellow Wag' 2, RLP 4- 1ad' with 3 juv's.
One of the first messages on the pager this mornin' was " Staffs, Cattle Egret left Grey Heron roost at Doxey Marshes at 0535". What?? Why was somebody at Doxey at half five in the mornin'? I'll tell you why because the bird had been seen goin' to roost on Saturday evenin' and even photographed yet the news was not released until the bird had left the roost this mornin'!!!!!! Who ever was guilty of suppressin' this bird should have their bin's confiscated and then be skewered with a rusty old tripod leg!!
Better go for a lie down in a dark room me thinks.
That's all folks
