yesterday i went birding with John Holian in search of 4 brent geese at essington quarry pool. we later found out that the geese were just fly overs so we didnt see them but we saw a few other birds instead.
essington quarry pool- pintail x1 (drake), tufted duck 10+, great crested grebe x2, mallard 5+, oystercatcher x2, canada goose 2+.
we also heard a very strange warbler that first calls like a willow warbler and then finnishes off calling like a chiff chaff we heard this for our selves and it really comfused us.
thanks for reading i will update the uk national and local bird news pages tomorow.
nice sightings jason, sorry about the brent geese but there should be some good birds at northycote farm on friday:-)
ReplyDeletehi james it was a shame about the brent geese but we still got a pintail and the willow Chaff mix. i did some digging and couldnt find any grt white egret reports at middleton, that sort of bird allways gets on tbe rare bird report sites. A i was wondering where i should meet u on friday ¦)
