Hawker Hurrican flypast, Barton upon Humber

 

Pity the sun didn't show but we had excellent views from the bridge, three flybys, brilliant !

A few birds from last week

 

Godwits, ruffs and a spotted redshank

Lots of hares and plenty of young that can't decide ......road, verge, field - dashing and jinking !

Once a rare bird, now well over 100 at Alkborough Flats

We saw this cuckoo many times on our evening stroll, but it was always going away from us

Lots of crossbills in the local forest, always mobile

Common Tern - a couple at Toft this week

                        Common Sandpiper

Green Sandpipers seem to be everywhere we went this week

And a beautiful buzzard keeping his eye on things !

A few bearded tits

 

The reedbeds seem to be alive with juv bearded tits, fantastic to see and hear 

Silver-washed Fritillary

Never seen so many as we have this year in our local woodlands, we counted at least 20 in one visit. Quite a spectacle and a beautiful butterfly.
