Large flock of RED-CRESTED POCHARDS - 6/11 - and record roosting county flock of LITTLE EGRETS

At Linford this evening (6/11), 7 Red-crested Pochard (2 ad m, 1 eclipse m & 4f), plus 24 Little Egret in the roost - a new record. The egrets began by pre-roosting on Tern Island, then one by one moved to their roost proper within the reserve.

Earlier at Tongwell the pair of GREATER SCAUP still present at the north end.

At Ravenstone STW, 9 Grey Partridge. (Rob Hill)
