Still there at dusk. Plus Tree Pipit and Marsh Harrier over, and three Little Stints also on reservoir. |

The reserve was heaving first thing. Walked into the hide about 10 this morning where a guy was claiming a wood sandpiper. It was in fact a dunlin! Lots of waders but I was really to late - no sooner than i had settled down and they were off Marsh Harrier 2 Sparrowhawk 1 Hobby 1 plenty of Brent geese Pink Footed Goose 1 (is this the first of the winter?) Little Stint 4 on reservoir (15:00) Pectoral Sandpiper 1 on the reservoir from 14:30 Greenshank Litttle Egrets 20 No sign of the Phalerope at all |

I do have an Opticron scope Katherine but I dont think it was me that you saw as I was down by the resevoir for the last hour and a half I was at Frieston. I certainly didn't see you. All I saw down there were a couple of dog walkers There was a lot of swallows moving south late on in my visit but nothing when I arrived - also some sand and house martins. A female Marsh Harrier also showed briefly before dropping over the far side of the sea bank |

The Red-necked Phalarope was still present at Freiston this afternoon. It was on the 'Shooting Pool' with 4 Little Stints. The Shooters Pool is about a mile from the car park. Take the footpath that is signed 'Wetland Way' and view the pool from the bank top by the gates near the prison. I am looking forward to seeing the results of your digiscoping efforts Colin! Roy |
