Today Potteric Carr in South Yorkshire have announced that Black Winged Stilts have hatched 2 young at their reserve which is a great achievement. I am not surprised they have attempted to breed considering that a pair was reported for a while. I wish them success. I wonder what other surprises we will get this year. International sightings can be included.

This is taken from a Bird Guides press release which mentions the first breeding of Cranes in Suffolk this year but also mentions the Oxford breeding from last year too.

They bred in Notts in the 50's.

Cranes have been breeding for years at Lakenheath RSPB which is in Suffolk.

Must have meant coastal Suffolk? Of course I was aware of them at Lakenheath, but for some reason was thinking it was Norfolk, but can see I'm mistaken there!

Not familiar with Nottinghamshire - what areas are suitable for Cranes there

No news released about Cattle Egrets and Great Egret breeding in new counties and areas this year yet?

Lakenheath RSPB is right on the border but South of it, in Suffolk. As a regular visitor to the fence at RAF Lakenheath (which I know is Suffolk) I was cued to check which side the RSPB reserve sits.
