Little Egret at Dogsthorpe Star Pit NR

"Very few gulls at the pit last night, due to a pond dipping session organised by the local Wildlife Trust. On a brighter note, managed to sneak up on the Little Egret."

Turtle Dove at Langtoft
© Roger Scothern
"According to my field guide, Turtle Doves are shy birds, but after seeing and hearing single birds from a distance near my back garden, one decided to eat some of the mixed seeds on the back garden grass in the last few days.
"We only have a small garden here in Langtoft (just round the corner from Phil and Amanda Ackerman). I have taken a few pictures with my relatively low-powered Fuji S304 digital camera, hand-held against my Swarovski ATS80HD scope. The Turtle Dove did not seem too bothered with my close attention - maybe it was hungry."

Another top find by local recorder Brian Stone: "Arriving to do my WeBS count at Stibbington this morning, I flushed a Hoopoe from the entrance track. A year and ten days since the one I saw at Elton Furze!
"The bird is returning to feed alongside the hardstanding near the start of the track near the Hall. Coming into the village from the A1, park carefully before the track and approach with caution, staying back from the Private sign. Grid ref: TL087987."

Wheatear at Ferry Meadows CP

Passage has been a bit slow this year, so this male Wheatear was a nice find on the edge of Coney Meadow and Lynch Lake.
Grey Partridge at Baston & Langtoft GP

The male Grey Partridge has a brighter face than the female. Nationally, the species has declined massively in recent years. Sympathetic farming methods, like those practiced nearby by Nicholas Watts, can help.

Blue-headed Wagtail at Prior's Fen GP
© Kevin Du Rose
This bird is a bit different to our usual Yellow Wagtails that breed in the area (subspecies flavissima). Its very pale head looks like the eastern European Blue-headed race, beema (known as Sykes's Wagtail), though it could perhaps be a flavissima/flava hybrid.
Yellow Wagtail races merge into each other so there may be no definitive answer!
