Yes, I saw at least 3. Also I've just noticed that Coal Tit is on the list, I didn't see any but someone must have found one (there was a report of one on the feeders the previous day so it must have been still around.) 95 now.

Did the Bonaparte's Gull pass through Upton on its way from Marsh Lane to Slimbridge? :eek!:|8.|

Was thinking along the same lines Phil. It may have passed through Worcs twice now without being detected. Reasonable chance it will head back north at some point and Upton must stand the best chance of pulling it in given the number of Black-headed Gulls on site. For anyone who needs a reminder some great pictures here and here.

black kite reported flying SW from Harborne half an hour or so ago - might be worth scanning the skies?

I looked at every Black Headed Gull so closely this morning I could have given them individual names! 8-P

With terns and waders clearly on the move in the last 48 hours, tomorrow is again a day of promise. Rain overnight could easily bring something down for those able to hit the reserve first thing whilst warm SW winds followed by late afternoon showers also sounds interesting. After no records for eight years - its longest absence fin the reserve's history - I get a Temminck's Stint feeling in my bones; would be nice for all the newbies to get this compact wader on their Upton list.

The Common Terns were displaying well today. Some unusual behaviour from one of the Avocets on the Moors Pool Island. A BHG had died & was lay on its backon the shore. The Avo leapt on it in what we thought looked like a mating. Did this several times over a few minutes. The other bird in the pair looked on.
1. Common Tern
2. Mistaken identity?
I have some video of the Avo but need to process it before it can be viewed.

I noticed that a black headed gull had died and lay on the shore at the Flashes today; I witnessed 3 other black headed gulls land on it (intermittently) and each tried to mate with it (after pecking at it and not getting a response).
Wasn't going to post but saw the previous post and thought that it might be of interest given that this would be the second dead black headed gull noticed today?

Thanks for posting Charlotte. Interesting that other birds are doing similar to the Avo.
Anyone else witnessed this behaviour?

Ah ha! So it was while you were taking a 'crew' selfy that the Bonaparte's flew over :t: Glad to hear you got on well! A great effort! If it means anything, I managed 83 species at Spurn on Saturday so you beat me personally (closer to 100 for the entire NGB day list though!)
