Thanks, and yes, very useful. We got WHD, Marbled Duck, Rk Coot and Black-headed Weaver at the pools at Bonanza Pools, which was a cracking little site.

Yes. I got your guide recently to help with planning our trip. Off to Extremadura next. Cheers

Brilliant, Fraser! I was all geared up for a five hour trip to Yorkshire on Saturday, but it didn't show. Now, I might need to gear up for a five hour trip to the Highlands! What a bird to find! 💥

I'm getting back from a holiday in Spain on the 4th, so I'll play that one by ear. Might make it.

Who's that for?

It's marshmallow, coated in chocolate and coconut. Very squishy! Very tasty.

I've seen them hunting pink feet a couple of times. Even saw one strike a goose hard, but fail to knock it out the sky once. Maybe this goose was exhausted and weakened after migrating?

Is the neck bar not just hidden at this angle? It does look a little darker than average, but not spotted enough for green or wood. Head markings fit juv common. No other tringa fits. Flight view probably needed to confirm 100%.

Did you see it fly, Neil? Any wing bars? My feeling is that it's probably a juvenile common sand.
