A Mediterranean Gull was also seen over Cayton, plus another bathing at Burton Riggs. 2 Turtle Doves were present in Staintondale, a Marsh Harrier flew west over Crossgates, and an Osprey was spotted fishing at Wykeham South Lake in the late afternoon. 2 Grasshopper Warblers were present, one of them reeling, at Middle Deepdale this evening.
