Also in the trees behind the Cattle Egret at Legbourne was a Buzzard and Kestrel giving excellent views

Mistle Thrush and Redwing in the field

Lots of people at Howdens Pullover

The Glossy Ibis was a bit more elusive when I got there. Eventually it was flushed by a microlight aircraft forcing it to fly back towards Donna. It settled but wasn't seen again until it flew back towards Howdens settling out of sight again I am told (mid afternoon)

Also in the area were
Marsh Harrier
Hen Harrier (ringtail)
Merlin chasing a Skylark or Pipit
Stonechat
Little Egret
Water & Rock Pipit - no sign of Richards
