The three Goosanders were seen again at Queen's Valley Reservoir this morning where they were in the company of six Wigeon and 19 Greenshank. There were five or more Siskin and two Bullfinch in the nearbly bushes and a Kingfisher at the water's edge.

There are still plenty of gulls around including 10+ Common Gull in the south east. Lesser Black-backed Gulls have been returning over the last few days and small numbers are collecting at sites such as St Ouen's sandpits. The photo shows a Common Gull that was caught in action by Romano da Costa.

The Shore Lark was still present near Cutty Sark. Thirteen Gadwall were on The Pond with another three, and 83 Common Teal, at Grouville Marsh.

The Shore Lark was relocated by Cutty Sark. The two Red-breasted Geese are still present in the fields behind The Pond.

Today was pretty spectacular for one observer who turned up a Bittern at the Pond and a Shore Lark (or Horned Lark) on the shingle just south of Cutty Sark. Elsewhere at the Pond there was one Common Shelduck, the male Pintail, three Gadwall, two Great Crested Grebe, 150 Lapwing, a MALE Hen Harrier and, at dusk, 10 Marsh Harrier. Not bad!

The photo shows one of the Marsh Harriers photographed today by the Frances le Sueur Centre by Tim Ransom.

Twenty six Common Scoter were in Grouville Bay with 46 Great Crested Grebe, at least one Red-necked Grebe, 10+ Sandwich Tern and one (or more?) Little Gull. Two pairs of Stonechat were behind La Rocque at Happy Hens.

Today there were still eight Wigeon at Queen's Valley Reservoir and a male Gadwall at Grouville Marsh. At St Ouen's Pond there were 40+ Shoveler, 10+ Common Teal, 15+ Common Pochard and 150+ Lapwing. A male Peregrine was sat in the middle of a ploughed field behind the Pond for most of the morning!

There are still good numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare about including a flock of 50 Fieldfare at La Rocque. Mistle Thrushes are quite prominent too with three at Grouville Marsh, one in a flock of 14 Fieldfare at St Ouen's Pond, two at St Mary's School and one other in St Mary. "Many" Linnet were at La Rocque.

The mystery owl has not been re-sighted. Yet? However, one late record is this photograph of the St Ouen's Pond Hen Harrier taken by Tony Wright on the 27th.

Eleven Siskins in Italian Alders at Durrell this morning.

Last time it was a gull but this is an owl! A large white owl was seen on the cliff tops at Egypt on Saturday. Time we had a Snowy Owl so lets hope it is re-located and confirmed.

The Bittern was seen again at Grouville Marsh this morning. A group of four Bullfinch was an unusual sight at this time of year, or at any time these days, at Durrell's site in Trinity. Two Siskin were also at Durrell where Blackcap and Firecrest were prominent.

Three Little Grebe were in the harbour in St Helier this morning. A fine Bittern was stalking through an area of cleared reeds at Grouville Marsh.
