Soar Valley Highlights August 2014

By Davidearlgray @davidearlgray

Here's a roundup of some of the stuff I've seen down the local patch in the Soar Valley over the last month. These have included the long-staying Glossy Ibis at Wanlip Meadows LRWT, the one day twitchable Great White Egret at Cossington Meadows LRWT. A nice looking 2 winter Yellow-legged Gull, and a Juvenile type Black Tern at Watermead CP South.
