Grey Phalaropes!

Hello

Yesterday Robin Gossage was down at Banbury and took some fabulous images of a wind-blown Grey Phalarope...

Today Mike Alibone found a juvenile Grey Phalarope at Hollowell Reservoir which was still present at 5.30pm (mostly around the Guilsborough Bay point) and although showing quite closely at times it was in fierce, adverse sunshine (well that's my excuse for iffy images)! Thanks are due to Cathy Ryden for relocating the bird and making sure visiting birders were able to see it.

And with Gary Pullan finding a juvenile Sabine's Gull at Daventry Country Park today, the scene is set for some more good birds to follow (we hope)!

Regards

Neil M
