A
colour ringed Great White Egret was seen on Johnson’s Marsh at 09.14 this
morning but unfortunately had disappeared by 10.00. It was colour ringed with
yellow over white on the right leg and white over red on the left. The bird was
found and photographed by Micky McNaghten who was, luckily for him, the only
observer in our area, later in the day the same bird was seen at Scaling Dam
Reservoir. As yet we are unaware of the origins of this bird but we hope to have some information soon.
Going
past Long Nab today were Common Scoter (146 north 51 south), a Red-throated
Diver (south), Manx Shearwater (10 south 2 north), Sandwich Tern (3 north),
Puffin (109 south 7 north) and Swift (7 south).
Wykeham
South Lake this evening just had a Black-headed Gull, 2 Common Gulls and 2 Mute
Swans, I know it’s not much but it gives me something to write about!!
