Slooow Birding

I made it down Snakey pre-dawn and the first significant sighting was...

 

One of 3 Fieldfares



Then the main reason for the choice of venue fortunately appeared... 



I watched the bird for around 15 minutes hunting the ditches at close quarters. Great bird....great start!

Barn Owl

Access to the coast was difficult due to a fishing match so I made my way down to Easington straight to try for some Geese. No luck for me but I did connect with 14 Whooper Swans...

They don't look quite as regal in the stubble!

I spent the last hour down at Welwick. No Hen Harriers but a single male Marsh and a couple of SEO's made the visit worth while...

 

Nice and steady...don't want to peak to soon!
