As I pulled into the car park at lunchtime Tony Swann was watching the Glossy ibis from the padlocked gate. The Glossy seemed settled over towards the back of the houses along Blue Anchor Way finding plenty of worms. It was still in the same place after a look around a very quiet airfield (some quite extensive gorse cutting going on, Merlin, female Kestrel, 200 Skylark, 2 Chough and just a single Snipe despite walking through in my wellies) . I headed over to the mere and down to Martin's Haven which was equally non eventful (Pintails, Tuftie and the flock of Chaffinch, lots of gulls following tractors but could only see Herring gulls) so nipping back around 4:10pm I was just in time to see the Glossy flying over Allenbrook (adjacent to the car park) in the direction of the Gann presumably to roost.
