Had a cracking female LTD @ Fairhaven Lake today ,showed well down to 20mets, has been around for a few days worth a tick on the year list !

Just had a Presumed Ring Necked Parkeet over Paragon Busniness park,calling and being chased by a LBB,flying off in direction of Reebok.

I saw the very same bird....Good Spot !

Spotted Sandpiper still present at 7.00pm showing really well from viewing platform right in front of sand Martin bank,cracking bird !!

Spent a couple hours there tonight between 6.00 & 8.00 no sign of Osprey!

On a very cool and windy sunday we only had a few hours round Mashside,very productive cracking close up views of Curlew Sandpiper & Little Stint,loads of gorgeous Dunlin,plus the usuals, cool and windy but well pleased.

Could only manage a couple of hours at the moss today,but very productive. Both male and female marsh Harriers, Great white Egret,male Gargany,Med Gull plus all the usual suspects.

Really cracking shots Dave,we did finally catch up with a few ourselves just going through a few pics now to post to Flickr, nice to see you guys again and good to see Tony & Tracy.

cheers Dave & Lee

While out on a bike ride tonight,had a flock of 100+ Waxwings roosting,the location was between the roundabout bottom of moor road going left up the by-pass just before Oakwood View in the tall trees on the left,not jittery or spooky at all just sat high up chillin,Cracking!!

We had walk down Marine Drive from Crossens round the golf course,as you said very quite, apart from the usuals we had Merlin, Lesser Scaup,Avocets & loads of Golden plover,no sign of the Spotted Crake though !

Had a trip out to a small lake in Bispham to see the Ring-Necked Duck today, it was showing well but distant,as always at the other end of the lake where there was no access, it was hanging around with a female pochard. Still another life tick and a cracking bird.

Will go to bed a happy chappy !

Hi Tony,

Nice to see you out and about yesterday we saw pretty much the same as you but sadly no woodcock. Please keep me posted on the Fox if you come across it again. All the best
