Old Moor - Bittern seen quite frequently from viewing area again. Little Egret roosted tonight. A new brood of Avocets (2) today, so that's two broods of two from six pairs so far. Also a brood of three Oystercatchers appeared yesterday. So migrant wise all pretty quiet, but keep plugging away as this is a fantastic time of year for extreme rarities as a couple of places around us have proved today (well, yesterday now) eg Gull-billed Tern at Thorne and Black-winged Stilt at Fairburn.
An interesting report reached me today of a probable Golden Oriole recently on the Trans Pennine Trail about 5 miles from Old Moor but as yet we have no detailed location. There has been a major influx into the UK so this may well turn out to be genuine.
