A couple of visits to NDC this week with no new additions to the Year List. She's looking a picture though...
Hobby was seen on both occasions, which is always special. A Cuckoo was heard was unfortunately not seen. The pair of Egyptian Geese are still about and were seen flying South down the River towards Bubwith. Water is still visible to the West of the reserve but the vegetation is winning now...
I had a wonderful 4 hours in glorious conditions watching the comings and goings but still couldn't dig out a Garganey? Tim Jones and Oliver Metcalfe popped in on a reckie for their forthcoming Yorkshire Big Day. Great to see a decent selection of Waders present...Lapwing, Ruff, Redshank and Curlew. Great views of a pair of Buzzards over the Scrape...
...but no luck with Marsh Harrier or Red Kite. Sedge Warblers are apparent around the Scrape...
...and Singing...
A bonus Yellow Wagtail was seen at Keyingham on a "Bud Stop"...
There's been a major influx of Red-footed Falcons into England of late. Most sightings have been down South. Hopefully some will filter through further North?
