The comings and goings of these spoonbills is getting really wierd. Yesterday the group of five birds were reported as all being unringed - today a group of five present including a ringed bird. Any explanations please ? Wood sand still present this evening on Jackson's Marsh, also adult Med Gull. Kev |
