Not a lot to report locally I am afraid. The
continuing highlight is the presence of up to 4 JACK SNIPES feeding along the
muddy reedbed fringe of WILSTONE RESERVOIR in Cemetery Corner (see image below
for location but basically first reedbed right of largest bay looking across
from jetty bench). A couple of Water Rail also feeding in this area, with
wildfowl numbers still high, including 454 Common Teal & 94 Shoveler but
only 2 Pintail remaining and a single GARGANEY. A few Grey Wagtails about and
the odd migrant Skylark and Meadow Pipit overhead. A further 68 Shoveler feeding
on MARSWORTH RESERVOIR.
Dave Bilcock informs me that the drake GREATER
SCAUP is back on STARTOP'S, in pretty much full eclipse, while Richard Whitehead
had 150 European Golden Plover over WILSTONE yesterday
