This evening, Mons Pool was underwhelming, with a single Redshank the best wader, although there was a pair of Shelduck with 7 ducklings, plus 2 Turtle Doves.

Guinea (but not fowl)
A quick stop at Kilvington on the way to work didn't produce much - waders included a Redshank and a Dunlin. A Red Kite on the way home was better; this flew east over the A46 just north of the Bingham junction.
This evening, Mons Pool was underwhelming, with a single Redshank the best wader, although there was a pair of Shelduck with 7 ducklings, plus 2 Turtle Doves.
These were all noted whilst on the phone to a chap at the RSPCA, trying to describe how to get to the site (after half-an-hour I'm still not sure we were both talking about the same place...). The reason for this was someone has 'released' 5 guinea pigs, which have taken up residence under the ramp to the hide. They actually look like they're having quite a jolly time and we'd made friends by the time I left. Hopefully the RSPCA will be able to find them tomorrow (before the local fox/mink tracks them down)!
