Friday update

Spoonbill - Alan Foster
Early am visit to Broomhill Flash where 8 Little Egrets soon headed off towards Edderthorpe. Rather than head straight off to Spurn as per norm on Fridays decided to make a late afternoon visit to Broomhead to look for the impressive looking male TBC. It didn't take long before it appeared in the usual tree along with two females and about five juveniles. It could be a busy weekend up there I suspect and with 47 cars counted at one point today its no wonder a passer by asked me if it was a dogging site!

News from Old Moor: Night Heron roosting at Reedbeds this afternoon. Barely visible, and seen by working party from area with no general access. Hopefully it might show up tonight. Spoonbill Wath Ings still. Also Hobby and four Ruff. Both these cracking Spoonbill photos taken by Alan Foster. Thanks Alan.
