Well it's been over a month since our last blog post........this really isn't good enough. So below is a brief round up of what we've seen......which, to be honest, isn't very much.
The big one for us was a Squacco Heron which turned up briefly at Saltholme...cracking bird.
A female Black Grouse was a surprise find on a trip to Smardale
A young Oystercatcher was a delight
A cracking Redshank on it's moorland breeding site.
The butterflies at Smardale were starting to show, with Brown Argus in abundance.
A series of Orchids seen on our visit to Smardale.
A visit to Bempton / Flamborough was a nice day out but nothing special turned up.
Gannet
Painted Lady
Puffin
Turtle Dove at Sutton Bank
