Grey Day Along The Dearne

Ventured down to Old Moor today for the first time in over 8 months ... a few surprising changes to the reserve!. Highlights included; Pink feet 2, Grey Plover 1, Black-tailed Godwit 17, Ruff 6, Dunlin 4, Green Sand 4, Little Egret 1, Arctic Tern 1 juv. DMW also had Rock Pipit over Broomhill this evening. Two Carrion Crows became Predatory Crows today after knocking a lapwing out of the air and then attempting to drown it ... needless to say that there was one less lapwing on the WeBS count! Final WeBS counts will probably follow. No gannets today!!!
