A nice new discovery today
was a juvenile Red-necked Grebe
visible, although rather distant at times, from the viewing screen at Wykeham
South Lake. Also at this location today 12 Whooper Swans (8 ads, 4 juvs) and
later 9 in the fields of which 7 were juveniles, 5 Goldeneyes, 5 Pochards, 6+
Great Crested Grebes and c60 Pink-footed Geese flew over to the south at 10.30.
Nearby 5 Whooper Swans flew east over West Ayton.
It was fairly quiet at Long
Nab today the highlights including 47 Common Scoter, a Great Northern Diver, a Black-throated
Diver and a Little Auk all
heading north and 7 Siskins going south, The record late Whimbrel was still in
the area today and a Snow Bunting flew over Crook Ness.
On the forest edge above
Wrench Green today there were 23 Crossbills and along Valley Road a ♂ Blackcap
was with the Tit flock.
