11 October 09 Tresco

A Long Billed Dowitcher had been present on Tresco for some time & had been seen the previous day & a Spotted Crake had been seen over the last few days on the Abbey Pool. The boat docked at New Grimsby & we were soon looking at 7 Little Egret in the channel & a Peregrine went over.


We wandered along the south side of the Great Pool seeing nothing very much & spent some time scanning the Abbey Pool for the Dowitcher taht had not been seen. A Water Rail showed well. An adult winter Med Gull was in Pentle Bay.


Drake & female Pintail were the best ducks on the Great Pool and a Whimbrel was on the Simpson field. C6 Red Legged Partridge were in the fields adjacient to the Great Pool.
Up to 60 Gadwall present on the Great Pool
