Branston GP
Bizarre report today of a birdwatcher chasing the Temminck's Stint along the shore line on the Southern Pit and flushing most of the birds by standing on the shoreline. The only access thru the site is via the public footpath. There is no access to the shore line. Photo's obtained. If you aren't sure of access don't just wander in. Please ask first. Birds seen today - Temminck's Stint, 2x Redshank, Green Sandpiper, 2x Water Rail, 3x Shelduck, 7x Pochard, 13x Gadwall, 10x Shoveler, 3x Stonechat, 25x Skylark (BarryBranston)
