Oystercatcher in field over the road from Norton Disney small pit, presumably the same one. A few Bramblings mixed in with some Chaffinches down Bassingham fen this afternoon. Also saw a Cormorant on the working pit which i'm pretty sure was Phalacrocorax Sinensis, not seen one before, how common are they? Cheers, Oliver. |

Hi Oliver, Believe I have also seen the cormorant you mention, I have tried to get a photo but struggling at that distance. There were also two Oystercatcher on the working pit this Saturday morning. Congrats on your Kestrel [Packham] photo. Cheers / Pete |

Oliver, P sinensis are becoming more common in the UK and have bred at Inland sites for some time. Their increasing range is the reason they have become a perceived nuisance to Anglers. Ringing recoveries for this sub-species include quite a number from the Low Countries and Germany. |

Not uncommon in North Hykeham. From Garry Barker, ringer at Rutland Water; "The colony at RW is largely, but not exclusively, sinensis". Regards, Ben |

A colour-ringed immature Cormorant I observed at Covenham Reservoir on 12/11/15 was confirmed as a sinensis race bird - ringed in the nest at an inland colony in Germany on 15/06/15. regards Chris |
