Abberton Reservoir

 A short call in with family brought in a few YELLOW WAGTAIL, COMMON TERN, COMMON TERN, GREAT  CREASTED GREBE and so many MUTE SWANS.

 Regular visit produced three WALL BROWN butterflies at the end of Share Track by the river. Also HAIRY DRANGONFLY, FOUR SPOTTED CHASSER, NORFOLK HAWKER. Also the very odd JACKDAW with a white tail, pale under belly and only seven primaries instead of 10.

 The RFF have been around for a week now so rather late to the party but they are still there. Not the best light for photography but some made the game. So see below. But the real thing was a stunner, not that with bins I could see it that well. But confirmed by pics from other birders. It looked like a BOOTED EAGLE to me. Some are saying its  a white headed buzzard. But n not the in flight pics which show good distinguishing  features. No pale phase buzzard in my book but what do I know. Also a BITTERN flew through and HOBBYS with the RFF.
