We still have a strong NE wind with us. I spent some time down Snakey but it was VERY quiet although the first bird I saw was a Buzzard! Still no luck with the Partridges.
Just after 11 I got a message off Richard, he'd refound the three Shore Larks. They were down at Old Hive near the copse. Amazing really, given the conditions! I made my way up to Cliff Farm as I was going to drop down from there but a combination of increasing gloom and forgetting my "big coat" meant my attempt had to be postponed. Great to know they're still about, although they'll take some finding. I did add Cormorant (P.45, H.44) to the Year List.
A team from the York Area, namely Tim Jones, Jack Ashton-Booth, Oliver Metcalfe and Chris Gomersall managed 95 species on their Bird Race in the LDV!! Even with extensive local knowledge, that's a VERY impressive total!
The wind is forecast to drop tomorrow with less rain, so I'll have a go for the SL and SB.
