SATURDAY 6 SEPTEMBER

CALVERT BOATING LAKE AND BBOWT RESERVE

The juvenile GREATER SCAUP discovered this evening was still present up until dark on the sailing lake at Calvert, favouring the SW corner and associating with 3 Northern Pochards (Mike Wallen).

There was a massive gull roost with very large numbers of juveniles which was really nice to see after low numbers in recent times. About 6,000 Lesser Black-backed Gulls roosted together with a rather impressive 26 YELLOW-LEGGED GULLS and a few Herring Gulls but not one single small gull of any variety !!

The COMMON REDSTART remained in bushes by the Fisher Hide, with at least 3 LITTLE EGRETS still in the vicinity (Tim Watts).
