Good to see you again too, Roy.
I hope that you got the "good light" that you were hoping for!

A red-n Phalarope is reported at RSPB Frampton Marsh this morning, on wet grassland to the west of the road. John Badley considers that it is a male, as was the one that was there a few days ago, but this could possibly be a different individual. Roy |

Just to clarify Roy's post a little. I found the Red-necked Phalarope earlier today. It's in the same series of pools as the previous bird, although my impression was that the bird is slightly more vivid. Granted, I didn't have my scope so I was stuck with views through my bins, but the crown, in particular, appeared much darker and the red on the neck seemed more extensive. I presume that you have spoken to somebody on the reserve, Roy? It's just that I think that John Badley is in Colombia at the moment! |

Hi Dan, I was in touch with JB via text message before posting the message, and he said he thought it was a male. JB did not indicate that he was abroad at this time. It would have been good if it was a female - but nice find anyway! Roy |

Thanks Roy. I'm back on site now, with much clearer views, and I am sure that it's a female. |

Dan Good to see you there! Had a text from Dave Satterthwaite to say he thought it was a female, otherwise we might not have gone! Cheers Roy |
