Anglian Water are building a new shingle island just south west of the hide for the LRPs, so bird life was conspicuous by it's absence due to the disturbance.

However:

Greylag c50
Egyption Goose 1
Sparrowhawk 1
Buzzard 1
Teal 7
Gadwall 3
Shoveler 2
Lapwing 2
Snipe 8
Green Sandpiper 1
Pied Wagtail 2
Goldfinch c20
BH Gull c15 (sparring with the Jackdaws)
LBB Gull 2
A few swallows and House Martins

I havn't been down to Marston SW for a while, but I think that Egyption Goose is a really good record for the site - not sure I have ever seen one there?

Might even have to twitch that!

Andrew,
Seen on the northern scrape from hide with greylags, some distance away but got a dozen poor photos - will post one in the album.
Regards

The shingle is planned to be placed in the scrape on Wednesday morning with the help of some volunteers ........more help would always be welcome, as it will have to be shovelled and barrowed in by hand! Although this will create some disturbance in the area of the scrape, it will improve conditions for many years to come.

I would love to come and help but Wednesday is the day I travel to Sheffield to look after grand kids. However if I can help with any other activities on other days please let me know.

Regards

I found one on 2/01/97, it was present for a couple of weeks with a group of Bewick's and Whooper Swans (!). I was trying to twitch the Twite found the day before by Trev (he had a 1st/w Med that day too). I seem to remember the excesses of the previous night out in Stamford put paid to a 1st day twitch. Twite, thats a Marston blocker....
