Hen Harrier

After my first visit to my Physio this morning (highly recommended) I needed some air. So after grabbing lunch at Couplands in With' I headed for the Prom to enjoy my Sausage sarny...and the Turnstones (5) that were feeding on the grass. It's a regular site. I also had my FOY RTD.

Next it was Cliff Farm where we both had a stretch. I managed another RTD and 6 Mallards close in on the Sea.

Onto Skeffling...


Plenty of frozen flooded fields, one containing a healthy c200 Golden Plover feeding in the Sunshine...


Huge numbers of Waders at High Tide...

View looking South East with Spurn Observatory and the Crown and Anchor in the distance

Smaller numbers of Lapwing (c50) were also present. Beautiful Birds...


Last stop was Welwick...


I declined the walk to the screen and waited in my car, I was a tad sore after my manipulation! I have seen both SEO and Hen Harrier from here so I reckoned I still had a chance. Sure enough around 3.30 a Ring-tail drifted over, mobbed by a couple of Crows. To "quick for a pic" but no matter. No SEO but fabulous views of a hovering Barn Owl as I left...


White Ghost

This was my 5th this Year already!

Back to Duff tomorrow...
