Ibis Interruption

Just another picture of lots of Glossy Ibises... 4 Wheatear (3 of them probably Greenlands, and a male Whinchat were also present). A Common Sandpiper was seen from the canal towpath. Couldn't find the dodgy quacker, but 3 very distant Little Stint were visible at the back of the right hand pool, as was a dodgy Shelduck thingy, with a couple of House Martins seen en-route.

Didn't manage to see any Wheatears (I still haven't seen one this year yet!) and I have to agree with you about that Shelduck-thingy at Saul Warth - very strange bird. Probably came from the same collection as the Marbled Duck.

Tim, did you call into Parkend for your weekly visit on the way back?
