The star birds of today were 2
Common Cranes found by Will Scott
and I quote “Dad and I were just driving along on the B1261 north of the A64
just coming up to Seamer when I saw them very high over the road, I kept an eye
on them as they went inland until we could pull over. They slowly drifted West
at 14.25.”
I do not apologise for the inclusion of the following photo as it is the only one available and anything is better than nothing.
Another highlight today was the first Cuckoo of the year heard
calling near to the Flask Inn. A Short-eared Owl flew high to the north of
Scalby Lodge Pond at 07.40 and there were also 2 Wheatears in the area; 28
Redshanks and a Shelduck by the Cayton Bowling Club; warblers moving west along
Long Hedge, Long Nab, included 2 Whitethroats and 2 Lesser Whitethroats and on
Thornton Carr 2 Shelduck, Reed Bunting, Willow Warbler and a Blackcap. Last but
not least a Lesser Whitethroat was on the Old Railway Embankment in Thornton-le-Dale.
