Garganey at last


This morning a female or juvenile garganey was briefly in front of Horrock's hide before flying in the direction of Ramsdales. As far as I know this is the first garganey of the year at the flash and certainly the first I have seen. It's not often we get a blank spring, but we did this year. The above photo is from August 2015.


Also today, five common sandpipers at the boat club, two juvenile shelducks flew around the flash and then away west, still 11 common terns, a juvenile great black-backed gull, a tufted duck with three chicks in Pengy's and the female with the nasal saddle CH1 still.


Great black-backed gull with juvenile lesser black-backs.


Spot the great black-back!
