It also hosts all sightings of interest within the county but only those considered authentic by the author.

Negative on GWE but juvenile RUFF at College

There has been no subsequent sightings of the Great White Egret seen at Manor Farm landscaped gravel pits on Tuesday, although a juvenile RUFF today becomes the latest passage wader to appear at College Lake BBOWT, following the 11 or so Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits over the past month there.

About Me

Lee G R Evans: I have been birding since 1969 but became obsessed with 'twitching' in 1974 and haven't looked back since. Have driven over 1.3 million miles in pursuit of rare birds in the UK, where to date I have recorded 588 species in Britain and Ireland. I also have a fascination for the Birds of the Western Palearctic, where I have currently recorded 880 of the 1,064 species ever recorded. I am widely travelled in North America, as well as in Africa and Asia, and have written at least 29 books on my chosen subject, including best-sellers ''Ultimate Site Guide to Scarcer British Birds' and 'Rare Birds in Britain 1800-1990'. Established the UK400 Club in 1981 to cater for the most obsessive of the British birding fraternity and now concentrate on online publishing, via the www.uk400clubonline.co.uk website. Record Birding achievements include recording 386 species in Britain & Ireland in 1996 and 627+ in the Western Palearctic in 2008
