With just the morning free I started at the Obs. The clear skies had a predictable consequence; no-one was sure where any birds were except for the Firecrest that has been doing a circuit of the obs garden for the last few days. I saw a few small green birds flitting through the trees, but the only ones I could identify were
Willow Chiffs, and a
Goldcrest. With just a couple of
Swallows overhead and a pair of
Common Buzzards I decided to cut my losses and headed off for Ferrybridge - more of that later - and Lodmoor.
Lodmoor had: pinging
Bearded Tits, 1
Common Sandpiper, 1
Green Sandpiper, 1
Barwit, 11
Blackwits, 8
Dunlin, a few
Snipe and
Lapwings, a
Wigeon, a couple of
Wheatears, two pairs of
Stonechat, a
Reed Bunting and a
Willow Chiff.
