HERTFORDSHIRE BIRDING: MEGA ALERT - NORTHERN FULMAR on Wilstone Reservoir

Thursday 5 April 2012

MEGA ALERT - NORTHERN FULMAR on Wilstone Reservoir

A stranded NORTHERN FULMAR remained on Wilstone Reservoir from late morning until dusk allowing more than 60 birders to connect (see more details on my Tring Reservoirs blog). Dave Bilcock obtained the excellent images above

Also in the county, a pair of RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS were present at Amwell NR most of the day (see Alan Reynold's shot above)
