Cobblers awl morning!

The main news from Old Moor this morning was the first returning Avocet (on The Mere), still present late morning. Other bits included the adult Med' Gull, Bittern, Peregrine, Buzzard, Pintail,11 Goldeneye and a Redshank. There were also 4 Goldeneye at Broomhill where 2 Curlews flew south. No sign of the drake Mandarin so far, however its cryptic plumage caused some to overlook it yesterday!
