| Post subject: | Bardney Sugar Factory Pit - 19/08/10 |
Last night I walked along the river bank to view the pit in the rain and gloom. I was comfortable with: 11 x Shovelers, 90+Teal,3 x Greenshank,4 x Common Snipe, 3 x Green Sands, 3 x Common Sands, 1 x Redshank,1 x (f) Kestrel. Not so comfortable with: Among 20+ Lesser Black Back Gulls,2 x possible Yellow Legged Gulls - they had lighter backs than the LBBG's and yellow legs but I didnt think they were as light as Herring Gulls... Also 6 x unidentified waders - I think these were Ruffs but not sure. They were grouped together and had a warm buff look to their chest and breast. Can anybody help with my ID? Thanks Matthew. |

Hi Matthrew I think you are 100% correct. There have been 6-7 Ruff at Bardney most nights this week, Also within the hordes of LBBG up to 3 Yellow legged Gulls. On Wednesday night also Peregrine on the factory and a Hobby over Bardney village. David Jenkins |
