Made the trip over yesterday. I was tempted by the Black Tern passage (good numbers further South) and had dreams of seeing them floating over my beloved reserve while celebrating my 150th for the site.
I can dream...and still will. One day in May?
I had a very enjoyable 3 hours in the Geoff Smith hide accruing 52 species. The reserve looked a picture in the sunshine. I'd post a pic if I could! Never seen as much water on in May.
That's better!
Highlights...
Great Crested Grebe...3 including a displaying pair
Little Egret
Oystercatcher...5
Whimbrel
Common Tern...2 south down river
Bullfinch...pair along path to hide
(Black Swan)?
Year total 54
STILL no Swift seen in Yorks?
