OK so its not on the patch, may well have flown over it while I was away doing the kites, but as I only get an average of two new county birds per year this one is worthy of a quick mention; a glossy Glossy Ibis at Mogg's Eye (also worth mentioning just for the location) with a colour ring on the left tib and metal right tib looks as if it was ringed in the Coto but we are awaiting details---I was on site at 07:15hrs and had it in flight by 07:35----it is the first ever twitchable Glossy Ibis in Lincs with the most recent previous records being in 1975 (fly-by) and 1976
It was never very close when feeding but flew right over my head at first light
