EURASIAN CURLEWS STILL ROOSTING AT MARLOW

4.50 this evening (31 January), the three EURASIAN CURLEW - so well described by Lee Evans in his report yesterday - flew in to their now usual spot on the spit at Spade Oak Pit, Little Marlow, much to the relief and pleasure of Rose and Mike Collard. We three departed soon after, leaving the Curlews looking settled for the night. Also, five COMMON SHELDUCK - a new personal high score for me at LMGP. Not been a bad week all told, with three "lifetime" ticks (i.e. the Collards and "El Grook"). Good to meet you (John)
