Old Moor extras

A few additions from JMT'S sightings - Bittern seen at Reedbeds, adult Med' Gull (thus 2), Turnstone Mere, 2 LRP, 5 RP. Spotted Flycatcher reported by Field Pool West hide, plenty arrived on coast recently so seems quite likely to be gen. A Bean Goose was reported on Wombwell Ings yesterday but when checked out only a Pink-foot could be found.

The 'cream-crown' Marsh Harrier at Old Moor yesterday - Keith Pickering

If you see a Marsh Harrier at Old Moor try to establish if it is this bird or not, which is easily recognized by the missing flight feathers on its left wing. PhotographKeith Pickering
