evening update

Old Moor: The Night Heron was on the Reedbeds today and later flew onto the Wader Scrape at dusk.

Wombwell Ings this evening: Little Egret 1, Greenshank 2, Dunlin 7, Yellow Wagtail 7, Pied Wagtail 27.


The Spotted Redshank was still at Broomhill this evening. Apparently the RSPB site carried news of a Redshank on Wombwell Ings yesterday but not sure who saw it? Whilst this is far from impossible, Common Redshank is at best a scarce bird here at this time of year. Perhaps someone can confirm this report as reliable; otherwise might it have been the Spot Red which also visited Wombwell Ings today?
