Glossy Fairburn

Out after work this afternoon and nipped across to Fairburn Ings mainly in pursuit of a couple of Spoonbills seen this morning, unfortunately they had done a disappearing act this afternoon although the Glossy Ibis was still showing well on a little pool just past the viewing screen at Lin Dyke along with an impressive ten Little Egrets, there was also a showy female Mandarin on the Main Lake.
