Hugh Wright found this bird at around 6am today and at 7am it was scared off by the bird scare canon in the field next to Deeping Lakes. It flew north and was picked up following the A15 past Baston & Langtoft GP by Josh Jones. Nicolas Watts' scrapes caught it's eye, at Baston Fen, where it remained for the rest of the day. I think this is the younger bird I first found with a sub-adult on the 3rd May and found again at DL by my father on the 13th May. As Hugh saw this arrive from the east, I again presume this bird came from the Wash.
The spoonbill is always an impressive bird.
