Hi

White-fronted geese - the 6 are back, commuting around the wetland fields.
Lapland Bunting - 1 showing well (for this species anyway!) in the wet grassland north of the car park. Walk up onto the seabank to view. It was flying around the new grassland and showing on the deck. Scope essential!
Peregrine - ad male sat in the fields

If it's the same as the Little Egret from Gibraltar Point then the ring details are below, I never got a reply as to any history.

(Left Leg Orange Ring "U", Right Leg Yellow Ring "6")

Hi

I have info on Little Egret "U6" for Russell Hayes or John Bradley.

It was ringed as a chick on 31/05/08 at Terrington St Clement, Norfolk.

Hope this helps your members. I am still waiting further information through the post.
