Spent a damp afternoon walking around Longhaugh Point. The fields there held nearly 200 each of Greylag and Canada Geese. Four Grey Herons and some assorted common ducks were also present. Down on the shore, a few Whimbrel were among the commoner waders and a Sedge Warbler was flushed from reeds. Walking back to the car, a striking black and white bird turned out to be a juvenile Carrion Crow with almost completely white primaries. This evening, a domestic run to Linwood produced two Grey Herons on floods near the old schoolhouse. This area used to be great for autumn Ruffs but the main flood has been partially drained and overgrown for the last 20 years. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
