Friday's bits

Old Moor: At least two juv Bitterns were seen again on 'Bittern Watch'. Two probable Red Kites flew over gaining height at about 12.45 (Dave Cutts).

One of the Bitterns on 'gate duty' recently - Keith Pickering
Wombwell Ings: 2 Avocets, Whimbrel (field), second-summer Med' Gull over Broomhill village.

The Whimbrel in the field between Wombwell Ings and Broomhill today - Jim Thompson. This bird has been present for a couple of weeks now and looks somewhat disheveled and has a limp, but despite this is does seem to be feeding well, so hopefully will survive.
