Day before Thursday

Old Moor: 3+ Bitterns, 2 drake Wigeon (Wath Ings), 2+ Med' Gulls.
Wombwell Ings: LRP 2, Redshank 12, Greenshank.
There are now an excellent 10+ broods of Pochard in the area.

A Savi's Warbler was heard singing at Old Moor for a while late on Monday evening from an area with no general access. It wasn't seen and was also difficult to hear. Discussions took place as to the possibility of arranging some form of limited and guided access, similar to what was done last time the species occurred here. This would have proved to be difficult due to the presence of sensitive breeding birds, but as it turned out, there has been no further sign of it since.
