Barn Owl reported via BirdTrack at Moors on 10/11 but no sign yesterday evening after an albeit brief visit. Also White Wagtail at the Flashes on the 10th via eBird

 

[Gert Corfield]

Re my post above, on further research (and please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't use eBird), it seems that eBird does not provide a 'yarrellii' selection for 'our' Pied Wagtail but defaults to 'alba' ie the White Wagtail sub species. So that's confusing and with a few other naming issues on eBird it's probably better to use BirdTrack in the UK! Given the above, I suspect the recorder meant to record Pied Wagtail but was unable to do so. As I say, I may be wrong but if anyone uses eBird regularly it would be interesting to know if this is the case.

Report of male Snow Bunting at 2.15 today per Bird Guides. On the deck briefly believed at the flashes and flew off south west. Any further info available would be useful
