Hi all Flying visit to the UK and one day of local birding, made a big effort to look for breeding waders.... Marston STW 1 Curlew flew over fairly low from the direction of the village and off towards Jericho Wood.... presumably a local breeder... 2 Oystercatcher - song flights (sound-recorded) and presumably planning to breed again imminently... Otherwise fairly quiet see: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29309510 Denton Reservoir 1 Nuthatch the highlight here! http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29309447 Thurlby Pit 1 Arctic Tern dip-feeding over the pit with Black-headed Gulls for ten minutes then headed off north. 1 pr Oystercatcher at the gravel workings nearby. Photos: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29308994 Beckingham Camp Scoping up from the south end, one fly-by Curlew, likely multiple pairs on here.... Waterwell Lane An amazing stony field had 4 pr Lapwing an Oystercatcher and 3 Curlew. 1 Whinchat and 8 Wheatears plus 2 White Wagtails and 7 Yellow Wagtails foraging in the same field. 3 pairs of Corn Bunting and a Grey Partridge mean that this is about the last decent field in the region.... Wonder what becomes of them? Photos & sound-recording: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29305907 Barkestone Heath Airfield At least 1 Curlew on territory here. Hougham Lane 1 Curlew foraging in a field here, plus Yellow & White (1) Wagtails and 2 Tree Sparrow http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29305694 Dry Doddington Thought I heard a Curlew for a second here, but just the once and Starling mimicry not ruled out, pr Lapwing might just be breeding and 2 high flyover Little Egrets was new for here. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29305654 Despite much effort not a squeak out of a Cuckoo or a Turtle Dove all day #extinction cheers Alex |
