17 Little Egrets in the roost at Bamptons Pool this evening.
The "Swanshurst Gull" of the last two winters has returned and should hold features that will hopefully clinch its ID, unless it's a hybrid.
Des.
Latest discussion I have seen does favour a hybrid, possibly Yellow-legged x Caspian
17 Goosander at the Priory Mill pool / Brompton pool today.
There was a male Bullfinch in the same area behind the Dingles as in the summer, which was good to see.
Good numbers of stickleback at the Dingles Chinn brook inlet to the River Cole, the most at the Sarehole Mill race / outlet and some in a weir pool along the Cole.
No Kingfisher though but the river water level was perhaps too high, fast and murky.
