| 04/11/22 | GLOSSY IBIS | Fleethill Farm | 1 | H Wright |
| 10:25 | On bank next to Grey Heron. Flew west. Apparently not same bird as one at New Workings, which I saw 15 minutes later, as this was being viewed at the same time by PJ Craig and othes. SU787624. Private site, view only from footpath. | |||
| 04/11/22 | GLOSSY IBIS | New workings, Moor Green Lakes | 1 | P J Craig |

| 04/11/22 | GLOSSY IBIS | New workings, Moor Green Lakes | 1 | P J Craig |
| 10:15 | Found on one of small islands to northern side of pool by STW. To add to Harry Wright's comment about this possibly being a different bird to the one he saw at Fleethill: we lost sight of the Ibis for about 5 min around about 10.25. It went out of view on the far side of the island where first spotted, reappearing several minutes later on the adjacent island. I think that we need to consider that it may have flown across to Fleethill in that time rather than moving directly between the two islands as originally assumed. Please only view from the public footpath. | |||
