SLAV 'Up North'

A SLAVONIAN GREBE was discovered today at Tongwell Lake (North Bucks) - almost certainly one of the two present recently in the Brogborough area (Beds). It was present until dusk, showing well at the north end (Rob Norris). Also in North Bucks, a WILLOW TIT is once again being seen at Linford Nature Reserve, where also up to 4 PINTAILS have been seen in the past week.

In the South, both EURASIAN WHITE-FRONTED GEESE are still on Dorney Common/Eton Wick Floods, with 5 PINTAILS at Spade Oak and at least 1 first-winter CASPIAN GULL roosting there (Kevin Duncan/Alan Stephens)
