I convinced myself it wasn't going to be a Ferruginous Duck but it was niggling me so decided to head home for the scope to obtain better views!!! Sure enough it was but the hybrid doubts were at the back of my mind especially as the bill nail seemed to have more black than I'd expect?? at the time I was thinking adult but after a cpl of discussions with a few Warks birders we came to the fact that its an advanced 1st Winter male!! No rings seen & very skittish & still present on the evening of the 27th..............<br />

Inbetween Donna & myself had a cracking week in Norfolk from the 13th Oct not really birding but did manage Taiga Bean Goose at Burnham on 14/10 & a possible Grey Bellied Brant on the 15/10 nr Choseley & Osprey on 16/10 at Holkam apart from that very little as we only really walked Thornham harbour & Burnham Overy Dunes each day........ a few photos from norfolk below.<br />

26th November a call came thru to say a Richard's Pipit had been seen briefly at nearby Oldbury/Mancetter quarry but no further sign over the nxt cpl of hours but with it only 15 mins away I decided to help with the search within a cpl of hours several of us managed to find it & had some cracking flight views with it constantly calling,with probably in excess of a hundred people seeing it by the end of the day!! Only 3rd County record but 1st multi-observed bird..........Still present on the 3rd December allowing a few Warks birders to connect after being away the weekend before.Dave Huttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124230946377981716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228240224058585180.post-61651824700989364672017-10-08T15:26:00.002+01:002017-10-08T15:26:52.484+01:008th October 2017The past few months has seen me hardly doing any birding at all apart from a cpl of visits to Seeswood Pool where I did manage to find a Cetti's Warbler on the 24th Sept which was a 1st for the pool.....during the 1st week of October a few tweets came thru saying poss 2 Cattle Egret nr Alvecote Pools,Warks then being confirmed I decided to head over for an hr on Sun morning, the birds were in their usual field but distant but after an hr or so started walking towards the few of us gathered by the gate!! Never came particularly close but with the 300-800f5.6 & 2x conv managed some pleasing photos.........<br />

On the 11th had a sneaky trip down to Pagham Harbour,W.Sussex for the ad male Elegant Tern with Steve 'snapper' Richards & Ian Burgess but probably my favourite find was the 3+ Red-veined Darter at Marsh Lane NR on the 1st June which allowed some pleasing images on the 2nd attempt late afternoon..........<br />

Local won the day & we headed over to Abbey Fields on the Sat to see if the Whooper Swans were still present,no sign & to top it off got a puncture so had to drive back with the spacesaver on,meanwhile a txt from Tom Perrins telling me the Greenland White-front was showing well from the canal near Middleton Lakes just made things worse!! A quick stop at the Tyre Company & drive home was rewarded with a single Waxwing on Heath End Road on telegraph wires (A welcome Warks tick for Donna) we collected our cameras & headed off to Middleton not really expecting more than some record shots! Unexpectedly the goose flock actually walked towards where we were hiding behind the hedge giving us some cracking views 400 photos later & we were off with both Greenland White-fronted Goose & a little more distant Egyptian Goose in the bag..............<br />

Sunday was again spent locally at Seeswood Pool where the Tundra Bean Geese x 4 were still present along with 3 Egyptian Geese & gave us our best views yet although still a very skittish flock....<br />
