Evening reeds and another swift



Had a summer plumaged Sanderling in 8 hours birding at Broom - too distant to photograph and then flushed by a visting birder. Reeds taken at Gamlingay pond.

You never know whats lurking at the bottom of the garden !


Nightingale found by Jenny at lunchtime !

Heard the one about the barrrrrr wits ?


3 more at Willington this time !


An odd looking sterna tern at Broom GP, small, v pale and with buoyant flight. When perched had v short legs, slightly rosy underparts and almost all dark bill. The dark underwing egde is a feature not shown by Roseate Tern. An interesting bird though....
