Knots are a scarce species in Bucks, so when one dropped in on 9th September I decided to take a look later that day. However when Adam Bassett went to see the bird a Glossy Ibis dropped in, so it was drop everything and go! Unfortunately the Ibis must have flown off a minute or two before I got there (It was a first for the site) but the Knot did stay for a few days. This was a bit surprising as it was chased by Jackdaws on several occasions.

Also present was a colour ringed Lesser Black-backed Gull. The bird was ringed in March 2011 at Pitsea, Essex. Since then it seems to spend the breeding season in Friesland, NETHERLANDS moving to the UK after breeding. The movements of this bird can be seen at http://www.ntgg.org.uk/map/FA39778

A day or so later I came across this adult and a juvenile Little Grebe. They are not very regular at this site and probably only my second sighting this year.
