Calioris alba
June
Saw 4 birds (possibly 2 birds seen
twice) amongst flock of turnstones on
Britton's Area. Feeding.
6 June
2 birds in Britton's Area.
9 June
At least 6 in Britton's Area.
Unlike the other Calioris sp. there
these showed no interest in displaying
or otherwise feeling the effects of the
sudden onset of spring - they fed
actively in a tighter flock.
10 June
At least 12 in Britton's Area. I
was struck by the variation in
plumage; 1 bird was very bright,
others were rather dull.
11 June
They are dispersing as turnora opens
up to south, along Gaswell Road, but
still mostly associated in flocks. Pitella
saw a ♂ in nest-cup display on gravel
No. of Britton's Area.
13 June
Several pairs around F.A.A. and
Britton's area etc as if they may be
breeding.
