Black-necked Grebe, Scarborough





 



A lovely day out in Scarborough with this very obliging black-necked grebe in the harbour, blue sky and chips !! 
A detour on the way home to our red kite site where we had good views of about 20 kites. 
A fabulous day !

Last weeks bits and bobs......


Bearded Tits 

Chaffinch 


 The feeding station at Messingham Nature Reserve. Simon gave the feeders a good scrub as they were totally full of fodder mite and filled them with some decent seed. We returned a couple of days later to find the feeders topped up yet again with the fodder mite seed. Why do people think birds will eat this rubbish?!

 Great-spotted woodpecker

Long-tailed Tit 


Robin 



Short-eared Owls  (not at Messingham!)





A sloop at Keadby


 Tree sparrow

 Short-tailed field voles - perfect for short-eared owls !
