Greylag with neck band


First time we had seen a neckband on a "Free Bird" , flying over the triangle along with two Pink Footed Geese

Melanistic Mallard

Cracking bird but unusual to say the least . Hung around for about four days till we left


Firecrest


Our bird of the day but rather flighty

Glaucous Gull off Warren

Our best sighting of Glaucous that we have had

Redwing


Just arrived with thousands of his mates and similar numbers of Fieldfare this one was feeding on berries up Beacon Lane

Red Rumped Swallow


Just as night was closing in just managed to get this "picture" of a Red Rumped Swallow heading off towards Church Field . It was originally spotted from the Canal Hide

Little Bunting

Horrendous winds and rain didnt stop this little fellow from dropping in.Another lifer for us . Hoped it would be around the following day for the chance of a better picture but no luck , it was gone


RedFlanked Bluetail


A new Lifer for us with this Redflanked Bluetail.Originally we saw it flying around the Trap at the Point
