A welcome sight at Bubwith Bridge last week as water returns to the Valley. Always "first on" here but thankfully"last off" Duff! A couple of quiet yet enjoyable visits, which included a nice chat with John Heaton from "up the road".
The Kingfisher/s are still around the "scrape" and I estimated at least 4 Marsh Harriers present. The Whooper Swan herd have moved up to Ellerton for the moment...unfortunately! Lapwings have started to return to the fringes but Wildfowl is still almost completely absent.
The final month of the Year is upon us. Time to mop up some omissions from the Year Lists.
An American Wigeon has been present in the Valley for some time, having been seen at East Cottingwith and latterly Bubwith Ings. I'm obviously hoping it might end up on NDC? Over tomorrow.
I'll be covering the Coast and Humber during the week...
