Two go to Cantley

Part two of the Glossy Ibis search, and picture the day, dreary dull with a constant drizzle,all of a sudden a little tone on my mobile phone and also the home phone rang, message from a birder friend, the Glossy Ibis four of them have been seen at Cantley down a concrete track in marshy fields behind farm buildings, so off we go park just opposite the sugar beet factory gates and wander along the road and take a left turn down the track, and there a way along the track was a small group of birders and their scopes, we walked slowly and carefully along the track so as not to disturb the birds, and there feeding in pools in the sodden field are 4 Glossy Ibis, really good views, amazing looking birds with long beaks and a reddish rusty sheen to their black feathers.didnt care if it was such a miserable dreary daywe had seen the Glossy Ibis, i wonder if maybe they will end up like the Little Egret and decide they quite like it over here, all the nice wet marsdhy fiekdy type places and more may come lets hope.
