Having spent 4 hours on my patch this morning, highlight 1st Pintail of the winter, I had to return home to meet someone. I walked back again afterwards and on entering the hide at the mere I met two photographers, Des & Barry, who were on their 1st visit to the mere. One of them casually mentioned that they had had a flock of Spoonbills flying ESE over the mere and he showed me a distant photo at least 14 birds flying away, taken at 13:10. In my shock I didn't think to ask hm for a copy of the photo. If either of them read this or if anyone knows them I would very much appreciate a copy of this photo for my records as it is the first patch record. They told me that they visit Alkborough, Far Ings & Blacktoft a lot. My email is a.c.sims@ntlworld.com |

I understand from Terry Corlett, who also met Des & Barry & missed Spoonbills by a few minutes, that one of them is from Gainsborough & the other from Retford. |

Take it they did actually look like Spoonbills on the photo and not the back ends of WS! Guess it’s Des with the 600 lens and Range Rover : no contact details but John Harriman knows him well and may have details? Last Spoons at Alkborough were on October 2nd |
