Marloes Mere

Green Sandpiper from the b/w/gate - watched with Brian for some time, before it flew over to the Oriole hide, same one of two Brian saw a couple of days ago maybe? He took a couple of digipics before going off to try & get a better look.  While we were there, the 2nd summer B/H/Gull I saw this morning, was on the edge of the juncus, looking strangely out of place probing for food, too close for safety considering the Fox presence at the moment. Some 55 Starlings flew in from nowhere, which caused Brian to speculate on the previous post - a small number  (8-10) have been around for a while - a fivefold increase tonight. Our faithful  
Glossy in amongst  it all. An enjoyable evening, though the Lapwings weren`t to be seen, what could the Autumn bring here we wondered?
