The Otter Estuary
A single Glossy Ibis remains on the scrapes and roosted again this evening. Also 2 Black-tailed Godwit. Biggest surprise though, was a Ring-necked Parakeet first heard and then seen being chased by Jackdaws as it headed over towards Granary Lane, presumably to roost somewhere. An escape or maybe a wandering bird from the huge and increasing numbers in the South-East?
