Quiet down at Blacktoft

Marsh HarrierMarsh HarrierWater RailTree Sparrow

We had a run out to Blacktoft Sands, East Yorkshire today. Pretty quiet there although the Marsh Harriers did put in several distant appearances, also seen were Merlin, Kestrel, Water Rail, Snipe, Teal, Shoveler and Shelduck, with Stock Dove and Barn owl also putting in appearances. The highlight of our journey was two separate sightings of Red Kite near Weatherby Services on the A1(M).
