TEMMINCK'S STINT at the Flashes now - found by Chris Thomson
I will say the next bit really really quietly BUT if the forecast turns out as predicted then the next ten days could be very interesting. From Monday there are a run of warm easterlies up until next weekend with overcast, drizzly conditions from Saturday through to Tuesday with the wind remaining of an easterly persuasion which should ground birds on the move. This will bring us into the window of passage from the likes of Temminck's Stint, Wood Sandpiper and Red-necked Phalarope amongst others; for once it looks like spring passage wont have finished at the end of April!
Mike W had a new ringed Black-headed Gull yesterday - green ring with white code JHU2. Believed to have originated from a Norwegian scheme.
Any further reports (one way or the other) re: the Stint? I’m based in Worcester, and don’t have it on my UK list.
