What was looking like a rather routine day with the GREENSHANK about all day, a single BAR-TAILED GODWIT, one OYSTERCATCHER and just the single drake GARGANEY was somewhat enlivened by the discovery by Steve Goddard of a BLACK TERN on the floods early evening. Apparently the bird was coming and going for a while (per Richard Foster) though by the time I visited it had long since departed. There was also reports of a possible ARCTIC TERN and also a distant EGRET SPECIES which just might have been a cattle egret (Richard Foster). I did manage to find at least 11 YELLOW WAGTAILS and the possible blue-headed bird from yesterday was still about though closer scrutiny today ruled out the flava sub-species.
In the absence of any photographs from today I thought that I would share with you some video footage taken by Jeff Pursey of the white stork from Monday.
