Just seen photos of the bird that over flew Alkborough and as expected it looks like a juv as well: plotting which birds went where seems tricky and how many are actually being seen. Presumably the Tetney/Donna/theddlethorpe / Gib birds are one and the same but did the Blacktoft / Alkborough bird go down the Trent or East ? Or were all birds different as the Reads Island bird seems to have been. The Wykham bird seems to have got lost or did it fly to Aberdeen? Even very big birds are easily lost particularly if they get high up. The Theddlethorpe bird presumably fed/rested up on the coast for 20 hours or so before hitting Gib which begs the question why did the Blacktoft bird fly over such a great looking feeding area as Alkborough unless it was simply intent on moving on?
ND had a Beeeater at Alkborough last night over a 20 minute spell from 20:00 but in spite of 3 of us being there within 5 minutes it was not seen again nor was it there this morning just the 6 Spoonbills, a fly by female Common Crossbill and an early arrival of 360 Barnacle Geese
Photo of Alkborough bird now in the album -- maybe a little gap between secs and inner prims on left wing but could just be misplaced feather
