Thursdays bits

Old Moor: 2 Bitterns roosted tonight on the Reedbeds. Also Barn Owl.

Bolton Ings: 3 Water Rail, c65 Pochard, 6 Goldeneye, Barn Owl.

Broomhill Flash: Short-eared Owl late aft.

Phone call this afternoon call from a work colleague (Steve Bennett) to tell me of a flock of Waxwings in Hoyland at the beginning of Springwood Road (from Skiers View Road). Working nearby and managed to get there in time to count 18 before they flew off at c3.30pm. Lots of berries in that general area so suspect they might hangs around.
