A juvenile Rough-legged Buzzard was seen this afternoon on the border of the Barnsley area. Although it spent time over Agden Lodge (out of our area) I am assured by the observers that it would be viewable from Dukes Road (the boundary) and may stray over anyway, thus mirroring the male Montagu's Harrier that many of us saw some years ago.
Meanwhile, another goose extravaganza in the Old Moor area today with around 600 Pink-feet passing through including a flock of more than 250 which dropped into the field at Broomhill before being seen of by a Peregrine. Other sightings at Old Moor included Cetti's (singing), Bittern, five Buzzards and a drake Pintail. Meanwhile, the Little Owl was in Broomhill Park at dusk.
The four 'Tundra Bean Geese' remain at Broadstones.
Pager news - American Wigeon and 'Greenland White-front' still at Wintersett.
