Recent Round-Up (Connor)
Unfortunately I have not had much of a chance to update recently so here is just a quick review of recent trips: Dersingham Bog has recently had up to 4 singing Woodlarks, several Crossbills with good numbers of both Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers although Goshawk hasn't been for a little while (I believe.) A trip into Lincolnshire for the Sora at Gibraltar Point was successful with Pale Bellied Brent Goose, Smew, Black Brant and Kittiwake also being seen here. On the way home at Frieston Shore a male Scaup was nice and I found a Tundra Bean Goose.
My first migrants of the year have been Little Ringed Plover at Cley (12/3/06), Red Kite near Peterborough (18/3/06), Yellow Wagtail and Chiffchaff at Snettisham Coastal Park (25/3/05) and fifteen Sand Martins at Holme NOA (25/3/06). Spring is definitely in the air!!!
Other good birds have included a Caspian Gull and a Yellow Legged Gull at Dogsthorpe Star Pit, a self-found Red Necked Grebe and another Yellow Legged Gull at Grafham Water, 12 Barnacle Geese (possibly of wild origin) at Cley NWT, 2 Redpolls, 10 Siskin, a female Brambling, 6 Common Scoter and a Long Tailed Duck all at Holme NOA.
