NORTH AMERICAN VAGRANT SPOTTED AT CROSSNESS.A Franklin's Gull was found at Crossness yesterday (13/7/2024) by Conrad Ellam, a member of the Friends Group. Thanks to @stormcabbirds for permission to reproduce his 'X' post with photos here.
This is an uncommon species from Canada and the northern USA, which migrates to South America, occasionally showing up in western Europe.
There is currently some debate as to whether it's the third, or possibly second record for London. It is certainly the second for Crossness, since one was also seen here in April 2000.

MORE WOODLANDS FARM WILDLIFE SURVEYS ....Just a reminder that there is a Bee survey on Monday 8th July at 2pm.
Also the provisional date for the next bat survey is Thursday 25th July starting at 9.15pm. If you are able to make this please let me know.
The Big Butterfly Count is on again starting from 12th July. It would be lovely if we could get some volunteers taking part in this. I will see if can arrange a date to do a butterfly survey 'event', but it would also be great just to have volunteers doing this throughout the time the count is on, which is until Sunday 4th August.
Thank you and hopefully see you at a survey soon.
