A walk round Rimac this morning produced 3 Little Egret 6 Barnacle Geese N 55 Pink-footed Geese S 1 Peregrine 1 Sparrowhawk 1 Wheatear I then went N and along Fire Beacon Lane which runs along the N side of Cov Res and was rather surprised to see a Glossy Ibis walk out of a ditch and fly into a tree. I stopped and reversed and it flew out and landed 100m in front of me on the road. I got some awful pics before a car came along which had to stop to avoid running over the ibis. It flew off in the general direction of Cov Res and despite searching I couldn't relocate it. Follow this link for a pic http://www.lincsbirds.co.uk/album/displ ... pos=-11037 At Covenham Res 3 Grey Wagtails 100+ Meadow Pipits 2 Wheatears and another birder told me he'd seen a Red-crested Pochard in the SW corner. I had a quick scan and a duck looking like one was very distant... John |

I just heard from Keith Robinson that the Ibis has been seen again, by the landowner, in fields near a private reserve which is to the E of Cov Res and which is partly visible from the E wall John |

assuming KR knows the landowner is there a chance of sorting out any access? has anyone actually looked from the res wall? a bit late at the present moment I appreciate |

I couldn't see it from Res yesterday but it's there this morning (per Keith Robinson via land-owner). Apparently it flew from private reserve towards res and landed between the two John |

Hi John, Linda and I, along with Keith Robinson, Andy Sims, Rick Bennett, Steve Meek and Dave Bradbeer, had a good look round for the Glossy Ibis this morning but had not a glimpse. However, we were informed that before we arrived the bird had been showing very well in a field on the North side of Fire Beacon road and had been photographed at close range by Rob Hardy. We are all waiting to see your pictures Rob! After three hours of searching we had to leave for domestic duties at home - decorating, so don't, know what happened this afternoon. Roy |

Thanks Roy - just contemplating a search party as I didn't have the previous one in Lincs. |

For those wondering about the Glossy Ibis, Keith Robinson tells me that it has not been seen in the Wragholme/Covenham Reservoir area since about noon last Sunday. Roy |
