In John’s (ABO Warden) absence, we have a few interesting sightings that are worthy of the blog.
Osprey (Courtsey of Martin Batt)
Friday saw a sighting of an Osprey mid-way down Longis Road. The bird was in flight passing over a building site. It was spotted by carpenter and local birder Chris Brown. Robert, the AWT’s Conservation Officer, sighted 6 Bee-Eaters on Longis Common as well as Whimbrels and Shelduck in Longis Bay. Also flights of 20 or more Swifts were sighted in several locations around St. Annes and Longis towards early evening.
