Now to this weekend October 26th I had a Walk to Boyton and back, a dark juv Peregrine, male Merlin, great white egret, bar tailed godwit, a few Bearded tits. A few Grey Seal lounging on the river
27th October
Another day on patch i did find some thing nice this time a Juv Little Stint, a Red kite too.
Met a few birders today including David Piotrowski who called me when he was on his way back to Boyton to tell me he had just found 2 Common Crane, so i nipped to go see them as well as 2 Pinkfooted geese mixed in with the Greylags. Extra stuff noted today were a few Migrant Hawkers and the Marsh Harrier with the orange tagged KS back for the winter. Good finish to the weekend.
