I stood in the garden and watched the flock of 10 Glossy Ibis fly downriver and over at 0818 this morning. All ten flew back upriver again at 1657 this evening, and were seen arriving on Exminster Marshes, by Mark, at 1704.
A walk on Withycombe Raleigh Common produced 1 Woodcock, at least 1 Yellowhammer, 1 Dartford Warbler and 2 Mistle Thrushes.
A male and female Goldeneye were scoped from Shelly Beach this afternoon and earlier a Pale-bellied Brent Goose was in with a flock of c140 Dark-bellied Brent Geese on the Imperial rugby ground.
This Pale-bellied Brent Goose was with c140 Dark-bellied birds on the Imperial rugby ground.
These are great continued sightings (and photos) of so many Glossy Ibises, thank you for sharing! I have only ever seen the one back in 2012 up on Exminster Marshes (can't believe that's now ten years ago).
ReplyDeleteSaw the geese this morning, same group I'm sure, on the Duckpond.
Hi 'Sharptooth' - many thanks. They seem to be pretty regular over Mudbank in the morning and in the evening. Hope you catch up with them! All the best. Matt
