The
highlight of the day came from Long Nab but for once it wasn’t a bird, at 08.35
a Minke Whale was recorded moving slowly northwards. There was little bird
movement evident today but the following were all recorded going south between
07.10 and 09.45 – 11 Oystercatchers, 3 Whimbrel, 12 Curlew, 8 Knot, 2 Dunlin,
10 Sandwich Terns, a Common Tern, 16 Swift, 6 Sand Martin and 10 Swallows.
The
eclipse male Garganey was still
present on Harwood Dale Lake with 14 Teal, 19 Mandarins and 52 Lapwings:
Johnson’s Marsh had a Little Egret, 12 Herons, 2 Little Grebe and 19 Moorhens;
4 adult Mediterranean Gulls were enticed to Holbeck car park and at Wykeham
Raptor View Point there were a Hobby, 3 Goshawks, a few Buzzards and some
Crossbills but no reports of any Honey
Buzzards today.
