A mixture of adult and juvenile Little Egrets have turned up at the Ingrebourne , 8 in all, did they nest locally? The few Black-Tailed Godwits that have been feeding at the Scrape for the last week and a half have brought back their mates, now numbering 19 so far, and the tally for Green Sandpipers has reached 11, hope it don't rain too much. The juv Little-ringed Plover is still making appearances from time to time. A rung Black-headed Gull which I shall send to the Gull Group.

The Ingrebourne Valley
It's been a brilliant year so far in the Valley, since the new visiter centre opened I have spent much more time there helping out and doing things that to be honest I am really enjoying. I have been more involved with lots of stuff that has always been true to my heart and am in a position where I can influence to a certain degree what happens and what may happen to the wildlife and the habitat in and around the valley. One thing is sure, with a lot of upheaval everywhere things are certainly not going to be speedy. Having put myself in this position I have for the moment lost a few things that I was really enjoying, it's like I've gone off on a slight tangent, it may well be a crescent?
There is on the 3 of September an Event to celebrate a year since the opening of the Visiter Centre, which will include the installing of the memorial to the Airfield and the RAF which will be a seat in the shape of the RAF Roundel, it will be 4 metres across and made of metal with an inscription, it is being placed in the fenced area next to the centre with a garden and paths coming from the sides to the Roundel, some children have already drawn small roundel designs to be incorporated into the monument.
