Not one but two MALE Hen Harriers have been seen on the Humber recently. This and an amazingly mild day for the time of Year tempted me to "have a go" today. This morning I gave it an hour at Patrington Haven without success. Water levels were very low so general viewing was difficult but I like to think I would have spotted a HH.
After a coffee and a brief visit home I made my way back to the Humber and the superb Outstray Reserve. A good start as a SEO was flying around the car park. It eventually settled on a nearby post...

| Wonderful Birds! |
The tide was rising and the number of Birds was incredible!!!
I was joined by Neil from Beverley and we shared a few stories while we viewed. The spectacle continued as the tide rose further. Huge numbers of Waders of many Species. Pintail, Black-tailed Godwits and Marsh Harriers were on view amongst the regular fayre. I had a panoramic view from Skeffling to Welwick. Alas no sign of any Hen Harriers of any description in 2.5 hours. However this was more than adequate compensation...
I left at Dusk (4.30) enjoying a balmy Novemeber sunset?
