After a good mornings ringing at Donna Nook (90 new birds mostly Thrushes, Goldcrests and Robins) I took the opportunity to have a look at the seals. I am indebted to Geoff Williams and his colleague for pointing out the above. I spoke to the seal warden who said it is thriving on seal placenta! Pallas's Warbler still showing at Pye's Hall at 1400, also male Ring Ousel. |

Do you know the age of the glaucous? ( Adult, first year etc.) I saw it in failing light so couldn't tell. I must have been the only person at Pye's today not to see the Pallas. I arrived late and the light wasn't good. Saw ouzels and the LE owl though, which made up for it. Cheers Geoff PS Peregrine pair calling at St James as I write this. |

As can be seen from the photos in the LBC gallery, it is a rather smart second-winter bird. Looks a bit of a unit too.. |

The bird walks with a bit of a limp in its right leg but otherwise looks healthy. It is certainly feeding well. Roy |
