A fantastic few hours in the hides at Blacktoft Sands. We are lucky as it is just down the road for us. Plenty of Marsh Harrier action with many pairing up. Some stunning looking males !
An excellent couple of hours at Messingham to see the ring-necked duck. Afraid never close and with a good 100 tufted duck and pochard on there aswell, seeing it was sometimes challenging !
We had only been parked for around 10 minutes, bins ready, flask and butties ready, camera set up and then bingo, a goshawk flew ! We stayed about 2 hours until flying dacked off abit but we were so lucky to see 3 in the air at once. Red Kite was a good supporting cast. A fantastic day and a place we will return to again, hopefully next week.
