Another frustrating morning
at Long Nab where a probable Black-throated Thrush flew low over the stubble
field calling but just continued west and could not be relocated, this was
among an arrival of thrushes coming in off the sea and heading immediately
inland. There were also an amount grounded in the area including 210
Blackbirds, 8 Fieldfares and 7 Redwings; 8 Snow
Buntings flew south, a Short-eared Owl came in off the sea at 11.10 and in
the stubble field near the Obs a Lapland
Bunting and a Twite.
Another annoyingly brief
sighting today was that of a Hawfinch
flying west over Raincliffe Woods and calling at 13.00. Potter Brompton Carr
produced 2 Whooper Swans; there was a Red-throated Diver in North Bay and a ♀
Goldeneye on The Mere.
The Red-necked Grebe remained for another day at Wykeham South Lake and
there was also 7 Great Crested Grebes, 3 Gadwall, 4 Goldeneye, 23 Wigeon, 6
Teal, 83 Coot, a leucistic Greylag was with the ordinary Greylags and Canada
Geese and 36 Mallard and 41 Pink-footed Geese flew south.
