Another good evening at Manor Farm, the best bird being a juvenile LITTLE STINT,
which was seen very briefly at the west end, before being flushed by hordes of
incoming geese. The bird circuited a couple of times before flying off west and
was not relocated. Could still be on site of course.
Also the juv Black n
Grebe still, 2 juv Black-wits, 2 juv Ruff, 2 Dunlin, 1 Greenshank, Ringed and
Little Ringed Plover, 1 Snipe, 3 Garganey and 8 Swift.

LITTLE STINT present on Dorney Common for a second day
Dave Carter and I had the LITTLE STINT all to ourselves this evening - the bird showing as the sun went down along the southern shoreline of Dorney Common Flood. On one occasion, we watched it fly over to Eton Wick flash, over the border into Berkshire. During the two hours I was present, I took quite a few shots, but due to the nature of the site and the positioning of the sun in the evening, it was difficult to get any sharp shots. It was still keeping close company with the juvenile Dunlin....
