Spoonbill at Coombe Hill Meadows


19 May - an evening visit to Coombe Hill gave flight views of the immature Spoonbill from Grundon hide, then much closer views on the water's edge from Long Pool hide. A small amount of black in the primaries. Photo, copyright Brent Stephenson. Also seen - 2 Curlews, a Raven over, and Sedge and Reed Warblers and Whitethroat heard. Swifts much in evidence, screaming in small groups.
A quick look at CWP in the way home produced 2 Redshank, 3 Oystercatcher, 2 LRP and 2 Curlew.
