G.S. Woodpecker

Report .R.Lane Sunday 25th September 2011.

A brief visit to Par about 4pm today gave the following results:

 

             Par Pool is still being filled with equinox tides which will go on for several more days. The only bird addition was 1 x Shelduck.

             Moving on to the 'Wilderness' I heard, and briefly saw, a G.S.Woodpecker, possibly an immature, in the Pine trees.

             The Bay was noisy with Sandwich Terns, a youngster calling and being fed on the strand-line, though I could see only up to six adults. Amongst many feeding B.H.Gulls was at least 1 x adult MED.GULL

Nice one in the Wilderness Roger.
