Locally

A couple of noteworthy sightings today. A pair of Oystercatchers calling close in by the Cliff on the morning walk.

A trip to the Post Office at Ottringham produced two Yellow Wagtails attracted to a puddle by the road on Snakey...



Richard had a "flock" (c15) of Med Gulls feeding on a newly harvested pea field...but they've departed.

The Giant in the Peak District is still present, although news of sadly predictable disturbance is coming to the fore, with reports late yesterday of "people" close by the roost site! Low cloud prevented early news today, suggesting it may have departed ...but it IS still present...or it was till mid-afternoon?

The Irish BROWN BOOBY has been taken into care. Hopefully it will recover and be released at a later date.

A late report of a BBA in Northumberland gives hope that it may yet be "twitchable"...again...
