start to the day
but predictably again repeats from the Moth Traps with

decent gathering of

MISTLE THRUSHES
across the panels and elsewhere, a reasonably showy

WATER RAIL
at the Irrigation Pond, totally abandoned for the last 2 weeks, and

far from common visitors at the Gravel Pit a pair of

WIGEON

Footnote:- There have been reports of a couple of scarce / rare birds at Longham Lakes which, should weather allow and we infact record them, we hope to bring to your attention soon!
