Rare Winter Visitor

Grey Phalarope
A quiet week for new migrant visitors to the Country Park was broken yesterday by the arrival of a Grey Phalarope.

The Phalarope is the first one seen at Big Waters for well over 10 years and created quite a stir when it arrived yesterday morning. The flighty little bird was seen on various parts of the lake during the day and within an hour of the first sighting twitchers were arriving to see it from all over.
