This morning around Wykeham
South Lake we had 10 Sand Martins, 2 House Martins, a Sedge Warbler and a
Willow Warbler but the undoubted highlight was an Osprey seen flying from here north over Hutton Buscel and carrying
a fish.
Another nice discovery today
was a Wood Sandpiper at Potter
Brompton Carr where there were also a ♂ Pochard (rarer than Wood Sand at this
location), 2 pairs of Teal, 4 Shovelers, 3 Curlew, 70+ Swallows and a House
Martin. Harwood Dale Lake hosted 2 Shelduck, a Mandarin Duck, c35 Swallows, c20
Sand Martin, 12 Wheatears, a White Wagtail and a Yellow Wagtail and by
Papermills Pond, Ellerburn there was a male Redstart.
