Sorry to disappoint you but I am not a police officer. Today is the first time I've seen this as I've finally got a day off work. Yes I will grant you that the young avocets may well have been disturbed by this, fortunately they would probably have been off the nest, and that is a crime. It...

After leaving Flashes this morning,having seen the Glaucous Gull, had a kingfisher on Hen Brook and another on sailingpool

Saturday afternoon took a walk down to Salwarpe Church. On the Copcut Lane side of the Churchfields Maize Maze field came across a large flock of finches. On closer inspection there were about 60 Chaffinches. I did scan for Brambling but with no luck.

Of note today at the Flashes 1 Jack Snipe and 1 Snipe; 2 Chiffchaffs near the boardwalk bridge, 3 male and 1 female Bullfinch (think 9 were seen on the reserve today) At the Moors 2 Ravens, 1 Cetti's, 6 Snipe
