Wivenhoe Wildlife Garden, Monday, 7th June, 2021
Whilst waiting for a meeting of the council's Youth, Funding and Engagement committee to start. Didn't want to disturb Andrea on the phone (she'd arrived an hour early) so stood by the pond...
Stone Curlew!
Whilst emptying the moth trap this morning, I absent-mindedly passed off a high flying overhead wader as a late Golden Plover, but then realised the call wasn't right and it was bit large... Had the camera been to hand I'd have got some sort of a shot, but regret you'll have to trust me on this one. Several entries on Xeno Canto convinced me that this was in fact a Stone Curlew. A few (probably youngsters) are still on the move, including one last week seen at Cone Point... Oh - were there any moths? Yeah, a few... Photos taken hurriedly with phone... 😖
