Thanks Nick......Little Grebe is a new site-sighting... as indeed most birds are at this stage!

Just so people know, for my own interest as much as anything, I am keeping a ‘master list’ of all the species seen on the site. So please do pop things in the Sightings Book in the hide.... particularly if there is anything new. It will be really interesting to see how it all develops over coming years.

Hi Joy,

A good number of species so far for this new site, which keeps getting better.
It will be interesting to see what species put in appearance as autumn migration gets into full swing!
Regards

Hi Jon

By my reckoning it’s 45 species.
That includes all those I have seen; those heard but not seen (Chiffy and Willow W) ; those seen by you (and any others put in Sightings Book) that I haven’t seen!

Hi Joy,

I have been told that work by Northern Electric on site will be completed by next Tuesday.

Whimbrel is a nice site tick. Out of interest how many species have you recorded there?
Regards

Jon
