We had a great time in York for Louise's 60th celebrations...and the Birding Gods were kind to me...this time! Not that I would have jeopardised the day in any way. I realize how lucky I am.
We spent the afternoon mooching around the centre and visited the Shambles...
...and Betty's...
The evening was spent at the wonderful Rythre Arms Steak House near Tadcaster...

I had a couple of hours around the Village this afternoon. The weather was lovely. I managed to pick out a Snipe (H.117) coming IOTS as well as 3 Lapwings. Nice. On my way to the Kennels to pick his lordship up I saw my first significant flock of Fieldfares (c100) this Autumn on Snakey Lane. I also saw a small group of Redwings (5) feeding behind a hedge. Further down there was a healthy number of Tree Sparrows (c50).
Still a couple of weeks of anticipation in store. Beware the 23rd!!!!!!
