White-tailed Lapwing, Rainham Marshes RSPB

[JONNY74]

For anyone in the south of England that hasn't heard yet, a White-tailed Lapwing has turned up at Rainham Marshes RSPB. I wonder if it's the same bird that visited us up here at Seaforth Nr, Merseyside in May

I was at Titchwell trying to view the Buff Breasted sandpiper when the news came threw, but it was a bit of a trip from where I was to go, I have heard the bird has not been seen since.

It's just been reported at WWT Slimbridge which is where Mike is today I think.......lucky man!!!!!

Looks like it's doing a tour of the uk as it doesn't seem to stay anywhere long. So keep your eyes peeled and be aware because a White-tailed Lapwing could be visiting a reserve near you

RSPB Dungeness today....you never know it may well come your way Ruth, as it seems to be a roamer!

Anyone considered the possibility there might be more than one of them?

I don't doubt there is more than one of them...but probably only one in the UK!

It's possible Peter but extremely unlikely. So until 2 get reported at the same time i think it's safe to assume it's the same bird
