The North wind doth blow

As if the Winter weather wasn't bad enough, after a nice spell, things have gone pear-shaped...again!

Great weather...no birds. North wind...no birds!

Well...migrants at least. The Swifts know. I saw half-a-dozen at NDC today as I staked out the Corncrake again. Not a sound nor sight. Sightings and photos occurred over the weekend but nothing today...not helped by the strong wind. The/a bird was reported by the English Nature staff. I did enjoy great views of a cc Marsh Harrier plus a couple of Little Egrets. I had a good chat with a couple of Durham birders and guided them in the direction of Wheldrake to look for Hobby.
