One of our regular birders out today recorded two ringtail Hen Harriers - one female over the stubble and a smaller bird possibly and immature male, one with white in the wing coverts of the right wing and paler outer tail feathers. Also seen were 2 adult European White-fronted Geese, 107 Whooper Swans, 1 adult Bewick's Swan, 1 Little Egret ,a Merlin, a Peregrine, 5 Buzzards, 5 Bramblings and a Brown Hare.
These sightings are typical of the month with other regulars being Teal and Wigeon in 1000's, Lapwing, Curlew, Pink-footed Geese and Barn Owls.
Earlier in the month a Green-winged Teal was about and even more unusual, a Red Kite was spotted in the area on the 8th.
