Both the Cattle Egret and Ring-billed Gull were still present this morning. The Cattle Egret was in the usual field - the one with cattle behind Hubberton Farm. Unusually, the Ring-billed Gull was not 50m away from the Cattle Egret in the field next to it (in the corner between the roads to Angle and East Blockhouse). Suggest that the beach is probably still the best place to connect with the Ring-billed, as it tends to drop in to wash and drink occasionally. Worth checking any gulls in the fields though.
Also, 2 Slavonian Grebes were in Angle Bay this morning.
It isn't a problem to feed back this info, as I walk my dog at West Angle before work.
Out of interest, has anybody seen (or looked for) the Cattle Egret at Sandy Haven this week? It would be nice to know whether we have one or two birds in the county.
