A note from Chris Johnson

Black Brant at Humberstone - flew in to feed in fields behind floodbank at TA335045 with 300+ dark-bellied Brents.

Also male Hen Harrier hunting the area.
Single Ruff and Jack Snipe.

ta much folks, sorry info not quite right, only put it on because roy had been looking for it earlier in the winter and i have only seen it once behind the leisure centre, but to know its still generally in the same area is helpful for other birders
