A better shot of the juvenile Wood Sand - Keith Pickering
And today: The Night Heron flew from Bolton into the 'Cuckoo tree' in the day. It was seen again this evening on top of the River Dearne flood banking before flying over to Bolton Ings.

Bolton Ings: An impressive count of 54 Little Grebes.
Wombwell Ings: Little Egret 3, Greenshank.
