Yesterday was a good day at Long Valley with a few migrants and lots of variety: Chinese Penduline Tit 28 (female with ring) Citrine Wagtail (female) 1 Oriental Pratincole 2 Red-rumped Swallow 1 Little Bunting 50 Dusky Warbler 1 Kestrel 1 Buzzard 1 Grey Starling 40 Silky Starling 30 BN Starling (nest building) Pintail Snipe 1 (rare at LV this winter) Fantail Snipe 15 Wood Sandpiper 50 Yellow Wagtail 60 White Wagtail 2 (ocularis) Richard'sPipit 5 OBP 5 Red-throated Pipit 8 Fantail Warbler 6 Waterhen 1 + more common birds. The Cirtine wagtail is quite easy to see - it has yellow cheeks and the whole face looks yellow as a result. Even the brightest of the Yellow wagtails show dark cheeks /ear coverts. If anyone is interested I can email a photo.(I cannot post it to the website - tried and failed -any ideas?) Mike

| Dear Mike, I do it in this way: Click the 'Add feature tags/add image button' It's the forth button on the second column from left. When clicked, a line like [-img]URL[-/img] was shown in the message field. (I've add a '-' , if not the script worked) Then paste the photo URL (the link) in between. Hope this helps. Best, Etta

Dear Mike, Where are the watercocks usually found - are they around the pond with the painted snipes?
