The two Long-billed Dowitchers remained until 1st but only the adult has been reported since. The drake Green-winged Teal was seen again on the east flood on 3rd but is proving very elusive. Other birds of note have included a flock of 14 Siskins flying west on 28th, a Short-eared Owl on 29th, a Bittern, a Spoonbill and a Jack Snipe (flushed from the roadside ditch by a Chinook helicopter) on 1st, a Goosander on 2nd and a ringtail Hen Harrier on 3rd.
