Birding Group Day Out to Neumann’s Flash & Haydyn’s Pool 22nd November 2011
The birding group were a little bit concerned that the visit to Neumann’s Flash and Haydyn’s Pool wouldn’t be very fruitful because of the lack of rain recently but, as it happened, the pools were quite full. In truth there wasn’t that much around but there were a couple of good sighting nonetheless. Above Neumann’s Flash a large flock of Lapwings were flying to and fro but they wouldn’t settle down and kept wheeling around over the water. We couldn’t see any birds of prey around so we couldn’t quite figure out why they were so skittish. At the edges of the the flock was a smaller flock of smaller birds but at that point we could not determine exactly what they were. One of the group thought that they had heard a Golden Plover call but we couldn’t be sure.
