Pheasant-tailed Jacana in Summer Plumage, Red Collared Dove, Whiskered Tern, Black-headed Gull
One Pheasant-tailed Jacana arrived. Summer records of Pheasant-tailed Jacana fall roughly between late May and the end of June.
A Red Collared Dove also turned up — numbers have been low this season. Two years ago was a banner year, with flocks of twenty-plus birds coming through, but last autumn and this season have been quiet.
The Whiskered Tern peak seems to have passed, but birds are still trickling through. An out-of-season Black-headed Gull was also noted. It appears to be a different individual from last week's bird.
Pheasant-tailed Jacana, first-summer plumage.
Crimson Dove, male. First-summer, perhaps.
White-winged Tern, winter plumage. It was catching grasshoppers.
