Morning Trevor, 

1 Swift over the pool this a.m. amongst the other hirundines, 1 Reed warbler ( heard), Blackcap, Willow warbler, Chiffchaff and 2 Water Rail. Also 1 male Reed bunting.

Report John Rance.

Thank you for the report John. I have never seen a Water Rail at PBP. Never heard one either !!!!

 Went to Spit this morning but it was too cold to do anything but shiver - a Gannet came close in-shore but camera not ready.

Par Beach Pool around 2.00 - A very aggressive Mute Swan, caused quite a stir. Nice picture of a Heron flying away.  

Andy Thomas

Thank you for the report and photographs Andy.





Hi Trevor,
Another miserable afternoon but Sid Cole spotted this Green Sandpiper on Par Beach Pool. Is this a first for the pool?
Best Wishes
Nigel Climpson

Nice photographs Nigel. I cannot recall  ever seeing a report of one at PBP but I could be mistaken. 
Anyone out there who can remember seeing one before at Par ...please let us know.
