Mere/Wader Scrape/Main Marsh - Mute Swan 14, Barnacle Goose 1, Shelduck 2 juvs, Wigeon 1, Lapwing 896, Black Tailed Godwit 6, Curlew 1 (heard only), Green Sandpiper 14, Common Sandpiper 7, Wood Sandpiper 1, Little Ringed Plover 3, Snipe 15, Common Tern 1, Marsh Harrier 1, Peregrine 1, Hobby 1, Kestrel 1, Sparrowhawk 1, Barn Owl 1, Kingfisher 1, Green Woodpecker 1, Great Spotted Woodpecker 1.
Roost in willows on Willow Pool - Grey Heron 6, Cormorant 14, Little Egret 19+, Great White Egret 1.
The Great White Egret was feeding on the Wader Scrape until 21.17 when it flew into roost with a Grey Heron.
19 Little Egrets came into roost tonight as follows - 1 at 19.31, 1 at 19.39, 1 at 19.41, 1 at 19.42, 1 at 19.49, 2 at 19.51, 2 at 19.55, 2 at 20.00, 1 at 20.10, 1 at 20.20, 1 at 20.48, 1 at 20.50, 1 at 20.52, 1 at 21.07, 1 at 21.10 and finally 1 at 21.17. Interestingly a Little Egret flew over the roost and straight down the valley at 20.03, first time I have seen that happen, wether it returned or not we will never know. Thanks go to Brian Davies for checking the roost at Denaby Ings last night ( Grey Heron 10+, Cormorant 44+, Little Egret 17). Unfortunately the roost at Old Moor wasn't covered last night, hopefully someone was at Denaby tonight to add to the numbers from Old Moor. Tonight 7 Egrets came in from down the valley and 12 from up the valley which ties in nicely with 11 seen during the day on Wombwell Ings and 5 seen at Adwick.
