Early evening at the Moors -
male yellow wagtail on the - now what's it called - I need Rob's map - the area before the channel where the lapwing's been sitting near the Broadmeadow pool.
Arctic tern, 2 common sandpipers and 2 LRPs, 1 lapwing, pr gadwall on North Moors pool, 2 swifts quickly over the same area, c.100-150 hirundines.
46 species just at The Moors and didn't see a crow.
Now to bed early - Spurn tomorow. ATB - UTV |=o|
Hi John - I take it these are total numbers rather than singing males?
PS Who had the Arctic Tern today?
Singing birds apart from 1 willow warbler and 2 female whitethroats.
Lots of us saw the arctic it was around most of the day. I did hear there was a common but I didn't see it. Yellow wag this evening at Moors - Gazza, who also saw Garden W at North Moors.
Are you down tomorrow, I will be at Flashes 1st light.B
With todays Whinchat, Swift and Sanderling i'm on 116 for the Upton year list-am going to try and beat Daves record!

Off topic but I would like to highlight something that was flagged earlier today on Irish Bird Network - 1000's of migratory birds are being netted and slaughtered in fishing nets in an almost 700 kilometer stretch of North African coastline. Mostly Shrikes but obviously lots of other stuff. It is desperately sad, disturbing and shocking to see. Please follow the link and sign the e-petition.

Joining the party, a couple from me today. Record shot of the tern just before I left.
The trouble is, for every decent one there's generally a shed load that are rubbish!eye eye Ian, a hidden talent there, or is it just a good camera8-P
