I've recently twitched the Dotterel at Gamlingay in Cambridgeshire and today managed to see a male and female. They remained quite distant but gave decent scope views. The fields here have provided a stop off for quite a few Dotterel this year so it was good to connect with a couple on this visit. They fields hold good numbers of Skylark and Corn Bunting too and Red Kite, Kestrel and Buzzard are regularly seen. I've also seen my 26th Wheatear of the year here and a Yellow Wagtail.
A walk around the George with Jim this morning delivered great views of the family of four Raven which allowed a few images before one of the parents decided they needed to move on. A Common Sandpiper was the only other bird of note on the water and Tern numbers remain low with just four today. Both Grey and Pied Wagtails have young now and we saw a Kingfisher fly across south basin and down onto the relief channel. A Barn Owl came out and managed to take some prey only to lose it to a Crow.
Year list now 203
