Hi Everybody
Ian Cunningham has sent me more great photos - two of a grey phalarope at Newark. It's not too many years ago that there was a grey phalarope in the same spot and I was lucky enough to get photos and a lovely little film of the bird. I'll let Ian explain things:
Hi Pauline,Found this grey Phalarope down at the slip at Newark this afternoon. These tiny birds are nearly always out at sea and get blown in towards land I guess when we get persistent onshore winds like the Sourth easterlies we have had this week. I have also added a nice red breasted merganser.Enjoy! Ian
I have been holding on to a couple more of Ian's photos which I'll send out, hopefully over the weekend, with a 'Latest Happenings' including news of exciting new projects for our Local Group.
Best wishes
Pauline W/Local Group Sec.
