This Glossy Ibis was found about 13:30 on 13th January 2024. With only eight previous county records for this species and a new one for my local patch list, I was keen to see it. I was on site by about 14:15 and after wading through some remaining floodwater and the bird was still present. about 70 metres away. The bird was disturbed a but came back to the same area of flooded meadow. However a dog walker eventually flushed the bird and it flew across the river into Berkshire where it remained for some time.
The bird remained until 15th January at least, when I managed to get these better quality photos below.
