    couple of hours at the flashes this morning - two redshank first thing and what i thought might be an early whimbrel feeding along the far fence - it looked small for curlew but not convinced the bill is right - i've included some very poor shots just in case - there was a curlew calling as i...

    is there a possibility that cutting and covering the areas with black plastic sheets would be a viable short term option? i think it's been tried with some success elsewhere jon

    great to hear they were successful - as common are they are elsewhere in the country, for me it's always a thrill to see one locally be good to see the local buzzards getting a bit more competition in the future :t:

    hi john, looking at the numbers i think this is the count for the flashes ;) fwiw i had a m+f gadwall (in what i think is called the 'broad meadow pool' at moors) first thing (7ish) - saw the m again later but not f jon

    flashes 4.45-10 am lovely morning at the flashes - 19 curlew, 39 lapwing, 5 linnet also possible female scaup - didn't get a good look at it as the sun had not long risen directly behind it - saw it land and go straight into undergrowth on large island to the left of main hide - it showed...

    I saw a list up in the east hide but the dated entries were quite old - I take it no one has won it yet? if there is a complete list of species already suggested available i'll have a go, though i'm guessing all the likely candidates have been taken :-C eta: if someone could point me in the...

    in addition the tibia looks long and the supercilium isn't very prominent behind the eye given the dark cap and white spots on the upper scapulars though i'd go with wood sand jon
