REDBOURNBURY LITTLE EGRETS

Now the ice has cleared most of the Snipe have left the riverside. Up to 4 LITTLE EGRETS have been around Redbournbury with one frequently seen on the River Red on Redbourn Common where a Snipe was seen on Wednesday. Today there was a flock of approx 35 Linnets at Redbournbury Farm - the first sightings I have had of these since October. 3 sightings of Red Kites & 3 Common Buzzards today. Yesterday -a large flock of European Golden Plover in a tight pack in Beaumont Fields. Common Gulls patrolling recently ploughed fields were more numerous than Black-headed (Ernest Leany)
