N.Killingholme Pits: low tide

Little Egret - 3, Redshank - 7, Teal - 9, Mallard - 6, Curlew - 1, Black-head Gull - 9. A guy in hide had a Bittern about ten minutes before we arrived, he said it went in the far reedbed. First visit since roadworks had been done, the ditch is much cleaner but there is loads of traffic.

Goxhill:

New Holland: warning for anyone going, once off the tarmac road the track is in a DISGUSTING STATE as it was on my last visit about five years ago!
Mute Swan - 34, Moorhen - 1, Coot - 13, Redshank - 17, Mallard - 37, Kingfisher - 1.

in the distance could see two skeins of geese going towards Reed's Island.

WORLABY TOP:

Tree Sparrow - 41, Dunnock - 1.

WORLABY CARRS: late afternoon

SEO - 1 [ it was sat on edge of dyke and I managed to film it and take some pics and my matetook pics, it sat there for ten minutes!

After some very good days this one was reasonable.

Hi John,
Just a thought,maybe you are trying too many places in one day?,and may miss something good doing that,
Cheers,
Roger.

Hi Rog,

You must have missed my last couple of reports where I stayed in one place all day [six hours]. You have mentioned this in the past. I think it's good to have variety no matter what otherwise Jack get's a dull boy or in my case John/Max.

Both Owlet and Worlaby which I recently visited a few times each on different visits they were teeming with stuff and other times little there.

Thanks for caring.

Kind regards

John
