Spoonbill arrives in Newport

Martin Aaron | 11:26 UK time, Thursday, 29 October 2009

This is probably old news by now amongst the bird watching community but a juvenile spoonbill has been spotted in Newport recently.

It was down near the iron bridge and feeding hungrily by all accounts. The last reported sighting was on Monday, 26 October.

These photos have come in from Richard Crossen who runs the Pembrokeshire bird blog.

Have you seen it lately? Let me know when and where in the comments area below.

Thanks

Gull
