Temminck's Stint

A Temminck's Stint which was also present yesterday and thought to be a Baird's Sandpiper at one point, eventually showed well and is still present if a little distant at times from Ron Barker Hide on Vinson's. More regularly encountered in spring in UK it is a regular visitor to the reserve especially after easterly winds in May, but is a much rarer bird in autumn.

Other sightings today include 12 Pink-footed Geese on the Mere including juveniles.

The small juvenile male Peregrine has been spreading panic and fear among the Lapwing flock, also a very scruffy looking 3rd cal year Marsh Harrier was touring the reserve in the afternoon which is a new bird.

Few other reports recieved
