Glaucous Gull

'Not great, but a snap of the Ferry Lagoon 3CY
Glauc last night
- it was only on the deck for about a minute. It
was entirely predictable the bird would drop into Ferry Lagoon on its way to
roost from Milton Tip, and bang on queue it appeared at around 15.55, though
unfortunately it chose not to stay at Ferry Lagoon for more than a few seconds.' RT

'Orange Harrier'

'There has been some interest in the 'orange harrier'
seen at Ouse Fen & Fen Drayton. I
put some poor quality 'record shots' in my Cambirds album (BrianG). Some people apparently had trouble finding
these images. I captured a few, somewhat
better images today, and attach a couple in case they are of any use for the
Gallery. The technical quality is very
poor, but the bird is interesting, and these give some indication of its
unusual appearance. Head & neck
marking more Pallid-like than I recalled, but wingtip shape Hen-like. Interesting...' BG

At last, one that performed for me, despite the failing light.
