2°C frosty start with a beautiful red sunrise, but soon clouded over 8/8 with a light but biting SW breeze.
An early morning trip to Calder Wetlands to help refind Blyth's Pipit was successful, but the light was poor and the bird made mainly low flights and didn't always call. However, Martin Garner managed to make good recordings of both call types when it did fly higher for longer.
Jonathan thanks the twitchers for their patience and co-operation throughout the day, so spaced out flushing ensured minimum disturbance of the bird. John McLoughlin aims to be on site by 08.00hrs tomorrow to assist in locating the Pipit. Meet opposite the WY Police building on Peel Avenue WF27BN
Anglers CP: Wigeon 202 + 10 WRes and Teal 21. Psycho, the usual adult Yellow-legged Gull was present at 11.30hrs.
Wintersett Gull Roost: A 1st W Iceland Gull was in from 15.30 to dusk. A 1st W Mediterranean Gull flew in at 15.42hrs.
