At
least the weather was a bit better today.
A
Black-throated Diver flew south past Long Nab at 08.13, the 2 Black Redstarts
were seen again on the sea defences in front of the Royal Albert Café and in
the harbour the Great Northern Diver and Black-necked Grebe remained and were
still attracting visitors.
At
Wykeham South Lake today’s count included 45 Pochard, 6 Goldeneye, 5 Shoveler,
2 Gadwall, 8 Great Crested Grebes, 3 Little Grebe and a Lesser Black-backed
Gull.
On
The Mere off Seamer Road the ♀ Scaup was still present with the Tufted Ducks in
the vicinity of Treasure Island and there were 3♂ and 5♀ Goosanders again
today.
The
goose flock in the field by Seamer Carr Road was mostly Canadas and Greylags
but there were 6 Barnacle Geese and c20 White-fronted Geese mixed in.
The
Rudda Road Flash hasn’t appeared in this blog for a while but today it had 14
White-fronted Geese, 7 Pink-footed Geese and 8 Teal while at Harwood Dale Lake
there were 2 White-fronted Geese, 2 Pink-footed Geese, a Pintail, 2 Goosander
and 15 Teal.
Lastly
14 Bullfinches were seen off Long Causeway Road, Wykeham this afternoon which
is certainly a noteworthy count.
