Lapland Bunting

A wander around Otter Head this afternoon resulted in Jaffa finding a Lapland Bunting in amongst a flock of around 70 Skylarks. The bird was mainly seen in flight but we did manage to get some good views on the ground. The estuary produced much the same as yesterday with the Glossy Ibis seen again (albeit very distantly), 30 Redwings, 20 Curlew and 1-2 Kingfishers. At dusk around 5000 Starlings gave a spectacular display at the regular roost site, while trying to avoid falling prey to a couple of Sparrowhawks.
