We also got good views of a Greenshank and generally had a great couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>We moved on to Burton Mere Wetlands where we again saw the splendid gathering of Spoonbills and over at Inner Marsh Farm highlights were a good group of Curlew Sandpiper and a single Little Stint. At the Reception Hide a single Golden Plover was a nice addition to the usual ducks<\/p>\n<h3>Birding Group<\/h3>\n<p>The first date of the autumn term of 2016 was to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/6099\" target=\"_blank\"> Pennington Flash <\/a> which was pretty reliable but nothing special, highlights being a Green Sandpiper.<\/p>\n<h3>Garden<\/h3>\n<p>The weather is taking a turn for the colder in the evenings and the birds are starting to return to the feeders with a Robin showing and singing well, a Wren scuttling around and up to six Goldfinches on the feeders at any one time. Also a Coal Tit and, unusually for our garden, a Nuthatch on the 28th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary September 2016 Species this month = 60 New Species added to 2016 Year List in September= 1 Little Stint at Inner Marsh Farm on 8th September 2016 New UK Life List Birds In June = 0 Running Total for the 2016 UK So Far = 185<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/2016\/09\/summary-september-2016\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birding","category-monthly-summary","category-year-tick","item-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6107"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6115,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6107\/revisions\/6115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.billneil.co.uk\/blogs\/birding\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
