Report. Roger Lane

  A short visit to Par Pool on 15thMay,2012 revealed FOUR Cygnets, feeding on the bank with their parents. I could not see another pair.

             There were also up to one dozen Swifts (migrants, or Angie's?)

Well the Swifts are back  Roger. I have been banned from using the loft till October.

 

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me to id this grebe that I saw in Holland last week. it doesn't seem to fit any of the ones in my books. Thanks, Ann graham.

Can someone help out Ann with the identification.

Report and photographs. Linda

Hi ,I often go to St Andrews Pond or Par beach pond .I wonder if you would like to add this photo of a Northern Shoveler at st Andrews Pond today

Hope it's of some use to your other birders

Thank you Linda. Nice photographs of the Shoveler.

Report Roger.Lane

After the rain, at 5pm this evening, I drove down the Pentewan Rd., stopping at the Manoa sewage works where there were numbers of Hirundines over the filter beds. As far as I could estimate, there were some 10+, Sand Martins; 30+, Swallows; 50+, House Martins and, feeding under adjacent tree branches were c.. 5 SWIFTS. My first this year.

 

Best Wishes, hope you found the locos !      

Thank you for the report Roger. Angie and myself saw similar numbers at the Sewage Depot last week..minus the Swifts.   

Yes! I caught up with Oliver and Tangmere at St Blazey.
