It also hosts all sightings of interest within the county but only those considered authentic by the author. I am extremely grateful for any images of local birds as well as of any information relating to birds within the boundaries - contact me anytime on 07881 906629 or email LGREUK400@aol.com.

NIGHTJAR still - and waders on the move
The churring male EUROPEAN NIGHTJAR is still present in the south of the county this evening, as is at least one of the LONG-EARED OWLETS, while elsewhere, up to 9 Little Egrets are at Spade Oak GP (Little Marlow) (two nests have spawned 6 young so far) as well as a Mediterranean Gull and returning waders are being seen, particularly in the north of the county, with Green Sandpipers and Eurasian Curlew being recorded.
