Collingham Old Pits & River Trent: 16.10 - 17.00ish Cuckoo - 1 [heard and seen] Corn Bunting - 2 Grasshopper Warbler - [Dave heard and saw one and Pete heard two] Common Tern - 2 Cormorant - 10 Hirundines Collingham New Pits: 17.45 - 19.45 Turtle Dove - 2 [over] Dunlin - 13 LRP's Shelduck - 5 Yellow Wag - 2 Grey Wag - 1 Gadwall - 1 Shoveler - 1 Hirundines We were told by a birder in the lane that the Temmincks Stint had been seen one hour before we got there. The luck of the draw! A few other birders were there when we left, so maybe... with Dave and Pete Johnson Cheers |

I last saw the stints at 1600hrs.They were to the left of the central earth ridge not far from a large odd boulder.they were settled/roosting having been feeding/probing busily. Even though @300yrds away I thought only one bird showed lighter legs.Both showed a large grey nape...different from the little stint I GRIPPED on at norton

Never mind eh.

It is a faff finding a way through those backstreets.I remember having a face off with another motor on one of the one-track roads...he alofted from his vehicle and I backed off......he was ex england rugger fullback Dusty Hare!a big lad! I wlked further along the quarry road to view the largwer lake behind Besthorpe reserve and saw a bar-tailed godwit roosting with shelduck.3 turtle doves on the resrve island too. things can only get better
