Hat-trick!

Juvenile Red-necked Phalarope on Wath Ings - Keith Pickering
 The Red-necked Phal' remained on Wath Ings until dusk along with 3 Garganey, 4 Dunlin, Wood Sandpiper and 3 Spotted Redshanks. Four Little Egrets roosted on Willow Pool and a Hobby flew over carrying prey. Two Marsh Harriers were seen earlier. A Black-necked Grebe that featured on the pager at Old Moor is presumed erroneous or just a Broomhill mix-up, unless of course you know different?
