Nectar Points!

I got no further than Conder Green and Glasson last Thursday, and haven't had the time for Birds2blog since. Not enough hours in a day, and too much other stuff to deal with....I can't go on like this, I'm like a fish out of water!

The 2 Common Sandpiper found on Conder Pool 6 October when the resident bird was seeing off the intruder, appear to have become friends, they were in the creeks and were feeding amiably a few metres apart, a Goosander was also noted. On Conder Pool, 15 Little Grebe, and the lone Pink-footed Goose was grazing along the rear terrace, but the single Wigeon of late had another for company, 40 Goldfinch were flighty, and a Comma butterfly with wings folded in the bushes, couldn't possibly have been happy in the weather conditions.

Notes from the Lune Estuary, an adult Mediterranean Gull, 180 Curlew, a solitary Knot and Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Great-crested Grebe, and a Peregrine Falcon on Colloway Marsh.

Around Christ Church, singles of Goldcrest, Blue Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Robin, Goldfinch, and Blackbird. 

No Nectar Points there then!

Spotted Redshank.

The Spotted Redshank has as yet failed to return to Conder Green, last year it did so a month ago on 14 September when I photographed it with the Grey Heron.
