The Barn Owl gave us two fly-bys and caught a vole for supper.

Ring Ouzel, Spurn

With easterlies forecast we headed over to Spurn. Quite a few ring ouzels (we saw 4), redwings and fieldfares galore, jack snipe, bramblings and yellow-browed warblers. An excellent day.

Hen Harrier, Blacktoft Sands & Whooper Swans, Messingham

We have struck lucky with a hen harrier fly-by most times we visit, but times vary from 4pm to near dark.   

4 whooper swans dropped into Messingham as we were sat in the hide.

Hen Harrier, RSPB Blacktoft Sands

We have been spending a few late afternoons in the Singleton hide at Blacktoft Sands and having alot of success seeing the hen harrier drifting by. Always distant but still, so good to see. Always a good crowd in there, lots of laughs and putting the world to rights !
