stuff seen including several pairs of <b>Pied
Flycatchers</b>, a few <b>Mandarin</b> on
the river, a pair of <b>Redstarts</b>
feeding along the path and at least one <b>Wood
Warbler</b> singing, just missed <b>Spotted Flycatchers</b>, a few <b>Red Kites</b>
were seen near Harrogate on the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

several were on the wing but were very active nevertheless I managed to get a
few shots, Bransdale was next and it was good to see <b>Ring Ouzels</b> at both sites, an adult male with two juvs at the first site, surprisingly
no <b>Whinchats</b> on show though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not feeling too good this weekend after the latest chemo session so just made a quick trip out to Thornwick
Pools at Flamborough Sunday day to photograph a <b>Temminck’s
Stint </b>which was showing well, fairly quiet otherwise but a bit of info from another birder sent me on to South
Landing in search of roosting <b>Tawny Owls</b>,
found the nest tree and saw the head of a youngster but no adults on show this
afternoon.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A trip out to Whisby NP on Sunday with young Ellis Lucas for the <b>Nightingales</b>, a new bird for Ellis so it was good the usual pair at the corner of Coot Lake were performing very well but with only
four singing males this year resulting in less activity they were the only ones
seen and heard despite a good walk around the reserve, plenty of other <b>Warblers
</b>singing though including lots of <b>Garden </b>and
<b>Cetti’s</b> plus a drake <b>Garganey</b> and plenty of <b>Swifts</b> at Teal Lake. Mid-afternoon we
headed for home calling off at Broomhill Flash on the way where the a certain<b> Duck</b> was showing well along
with more <b>Swifts, Swallows </b>and<b> </b>a couple of <b>Common Terns</b> etc, a nice steady and enjoyable day.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

to Blacktoft Sands to see if I could do any better with the female
<b>Montagu’s Harrier,</b> she was certainly
more showy that morning appearing regularly all the time I was there although
still a bit distant, also a lot more <b>Warblers</b>
in including <b>Whitethroats</b>
and still one or two showy <b>Cetti’s </b>plus
the sleepy <b>Garganey</b> pair was still
present and the <b>Bittern</b> was booming
well. Also that morning there had been a good movement of <b>Black
Terns</b> throughout the region (except for Blacktoft) so when
news came through of one on the Lake at Hes East I thought I would call off on
the way home, still present when I got there flying around and resting on the
Tern raft with a load of <b>Common Terns</b>,
a nice bonus.</span><br />

moved on to Thornwick Pools at Flamborough, no sign of Sundays <b>Bar Tailed Godwits</b> but several <b>Dunlin, Ringed</b> and <b>Little Ringed Plovers</b> and a <b>Common
Sandpiper</b> posed nice, also a <b>White
Wagtail</b> present. After lunch we had a look at South Landing beach, it was
fairly quiet but a few <b>Oystercatchers</b>
accompanied by a winter plumaged <b>Bar
Tailed Godwit</b> dropped in, a little walk around the Head also proved quiet
birdwise but an <b>Oil Beetle</b> was an
impressive find. We returned to Bempton in a failed attempt to find the earlier
reported <b>Redstarts</b> and <b>Ring Ouzel</b> then headed for home calling
off at Bank Island in the hope a <b>Hobby</b>
might be seen, several <b>Red Kites</b> and
a couple of <b>Buzzards</b> were flying
around but no <b>Hobbies </b>that evening.</span><br />

up with Dave and Steve from Rochdale at North Cave Wetlands and after an initial look for the
recent <b>Curlew Sandpiper</b>, not present
today, we headed off to Blacktoft Sands having a look from the Faxfleet side of
the river on the way, plenty of <b>Warblers</b>
singing including <b>Cetti’s, Reed</b> and <b>Sedge</b>, quite a few <b>Marsh Harriers</b> out hunting and good views of some <b>Bearded Reedlings</b> in the reeds by a
small pool. We carried on to Blacktoft where me, Dave and Steve headed down to
Singleton Hide while Mark went to photograph a showy <b>Cetti’s Warbler</b>, after 30-40 mins of scanning through all the <b>Harriers</b> Dave eventually got onto
something different and it proved to be the female <b>Montagu’s,</b> she came in fairly high circled around a couple of times
then drifted off again, a quick visit. We headed off to join Mark who’d had a
good session with the <b>Cetti’s</b>, I
gave it a bit of time but although it showed well it was very quick and I never
managed to photograph it in the open, with there being not much more on the
reserve we went back to the car park for lunch meeting up with a few other birding mates and discussing our different mornings itineraries. After lunch it was a return to
North Cave taking a tour of Goole Fields en route where we picked up our first <b>Yellow Wagtail</b> of the year, at North
Cave it was the usual <b>Little Ringed
Plovers, Ruff</b> etc on Dryham Ings then Mark heard a brief snatch of <b>Lesser Whitethroat</b> song from a nearby
hedge, it never sang again but we got some decent views as it moved along the
hedge feeding, a <b>Red Kite</b> over and
three <b>Mediterranean Gulls</b> in the <b>Black Headed</b> colony on the Main Lake
were the best of the rest. A steady but pleasant day and we all managed several year ticks.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bit of a bonus today, after taking the Mrs shopping in Castleford she then allowed me an hour on the way back, so it was up onto the Coal
Tip walk to look out over the Moat area for the <b>Spoonbill</b>, it was seen several times in flight but spent a lot of time in
the Heronry, seems to going through the motions of building a nest, but also
dropped into a small marshy area on the other side for a short while, also
booming <b>Bittern</b> and calling <b>Green Woodpecker</b> etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Typical Bank Holiday weather it was a miserable day especially when the rain set in during the afternoon, I
was hoping for a few early Spring migrants but it was not to be, the best of it was a <b>Marsh Harrier</b> over Dorman’s Pool in the
morning and several <b>Wheatears</b> on
Seaton Common.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After
the <b>Red Rumped Swallow</b> from
yesterday had been reported this morning I decided on Fairburn Ings, I arrived
at Cut Lane to be informed it was flying around the near corner of the Main Bay
over the trees and houses, after several minutes I got onto it and although it
never came close I followed it for a couple of minutes before losing it behind some
trees, I never picked it up again and then the whole flock of <b>Hirundines</b> including several <b>House Martins</b>, also a year tick, moved
further into the Bay as well starting to feed higher up, I walked down to the
bridge where an adult <b>Little Gull</b>
was perched on the Tern posts, also distant but looked very impressive when it
was flying around. With no further sightings of the <b>Swallow</b> I decided to head up onto the Coal Tip walk to look out
over the Moat area for the <b>Spoonbill</b>
again, as Friday it was seen several times in flight collecting nesting
material, also several <b>Buzzards</b> and
a <b>Red Kite</b> over and a few <b>Reed Warblers</b> singing. After lunch I
headed over to Swillington Ings parking in the now open St Aiden’s car park, I
walked the whole circuit but there was nothing out of the ordinary apart from
four summer <b>Black Necked Grebes </b>and
a booming <b>Bittern</b>.</span></div>

an early report of an <b>Iberian Chiffchaff</b> Spurn was soon chosen as our destination, we arrived at the Crown and anchor
car park to be informed the <b>Iberian
Chiffchaff</b> had been trapped and ringed and as a result had gone quiet
although the locals said a ringed <b>Chiffchaff</b>
was still in the area and was probably the bird, we hung around for a while
being entertained by two <b>Firecrests </b>also
a <b>Chiffchaff</b> with a ring was seen
but with no call or song we couldn’t determine whether it was it or not, it
seemed a bit dark with very dark legs anyway, eventually most of the birders there including Dave and Bob started drifting away and I was left with just one other
couple, after a while the guy said he’d got a pale looking <b>Chiffchaff</b>, I got on the bird and was struck by its greenish plumage
tones but it was being very active, the other guy then said he wondered if it
would respond to song and played a recording on his phone, it certainly did and
flew down into the bushes in front of us then flitted into some bare branches behind
us for a few seconds giving some really good views but if anything it got it
calling and singing again so it became easier to keep track of it and as everybody including Dave and Bob returned they
all got decent views of it. We then moved round to Kilnsea Wetlands and walked
out to Holderness Fields for the drake <b>Garganey</b>
which Dave still needed for the year then after lunch we went on to Sammy’s
Point which was fairly quiet, no hoped for <b>Wheatear</b>
or <b>Yellow Wagtail</b> but a <b>Golden Plover</b> was showing well in one
of the Paddocks. With nothing more forthcoming from Spurn we headed for home
calling off at North Cave Wetlands on the way where we picked up <b>Little Ringed Plover</b> and <b>Ruff</b> for the year.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Finch</span></b><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> and <b>Bunting </b>numbers
at the Cornfield NR started dropping off this month and a single <b>Corn Bunting</b> on the 10<sup>th</sup> was
the last of this winter period, the <b>Cormorants</b>
also took their leave this month with a small flock of <b>Fieldfare </b>moving through on the 13<sup>th</sup> pausing briefly
before carrying on North. Spring arrived
mid-month with the first <b>Chiffchaffs</b>
singing and several <b>Butterflies</b> were
about on the nice days, not seen the <b>Kingfishers</b>
for quite a while so it was nice to have regular sightings of the pair to the
end of the month, often seen fishing in the small ponds in the Rawcliffe
Meadows Flood Basin, a nice day on the 23<sup>rd</sup> saw the <b>Sparrowhawks</b> displaying over Clifton
Park with three <b>Buzzards</b> over very
high, two <b>Oystercatchers</b> flew over
the Ings on the 25<sup>th</sup> piping noisily and it was nice to see the <b>Nuthatch </b>again in Clifton Park on the
29<sup>th</sup>, also that day a <b>Siskin </b>was
by the Cornfield NR, another scarce visitor to the area, finally six <b>Sand Martins</b> and a <b>Swallow </b>were over Rawcliffe Ings on the 30<sup>th</sup> and a <b>Willow Warbler</b> sang from Rawcliffe
Meadows on the 31<sup>st</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple of days break Friday and Saturday in the Lake District with the Mrs, lots of nice scenery
and apart from Saturday morning the weather was ok, not really birding but you
can’t but help noticing stuff, highlights were my first <b>Wheatears</b> of the year down the Honister Pass and <b>Buzzards</b> and <b>Ravens </b>aplenty flying about. We stayed at Rothay Manor in Ambleside, very nice Hotel but a rubbish breakfast, after a wander around Bowness on Saturday morning we had a good tour around taking in many of the water bodies, nice break thoroughly enjoyed it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Out birding just for the morning this morning, I had strict orders to put together some new garden furniture this afternoon, decided on Blacktoft Sands, not a right lot happening but I year ticked <b>Cetti’Warbler</b>, at least seven singing, <b>Blackcap, Green Sandpiper</b> and <b>Bittern</b> which was booming well all
morning, <b>Marsh Harriers</b> were also
very active with one or two pairs sky dancing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

session, we decided to head up to the Raptor viewpoint at Wykeham first thing
and although a bit slow to start with eventually some <b>Buzzards</b> started to get up closely followed by several <b>Goshawks,</b> we had at least six by late
morning including a bird that perched up down in Troutsdale, we took a chance
in dropping down there hoping it might still be perched up, unfortunately not
but it was flying around above the wood so we got some closer views, we stopped
at the bridge at Hilla Green on the way back seeing the <b>Dippers</b> again, the male displaying to the female today, then
carried on into Langdale Forest, unfortunately he road has been gated so far
along now so we couldn’t get to the area the <b>Great Grey Shrike</b> has been seen however several parties of <b>Siskins</b> and <b>Crossbills</b> plus a <b>Chiffchaff</b>
put on a good show. Mid-afternoon we
headed to the coast to spend the remainder of it at Bempton to year tick <b>Kittiwake, Puffin</b> etc with the added
bonus of a <b>Short Eared Owl</b> over the
car park as we arrived, plenty of seabird action at the cliffs as to be
expected but a very cool sea breeze soon got the better of me so we retreated
back to the car after an hour or so. As the <b>Great Grey Shrike</b> at Acaster Airfield had been reported this
afternoon and with Pete not seeing it yet we thought we’d give it a try on the way
home, as we arrived a birder looking across the field near Ibbotsons Trailer
Park pointed us in the right direction and there it was straight away perched
on a small bush, a bit distant but looking splendid in the evening sunshine, a
good end to the day.</span><br />

South this morning to Hagg Lane Flash at Newington near Bawtry where a drake <b>Green Winged Teal</b> had been found
yesterday, it was still present this morning but typically right over the other
side of the Flash, good scope views though and a good selection of other <b>Wildfowl</b>. As we were nearby we decided
to have a look at the two <b>Shore Larks</b>
at Stainton next, a good inland record, after eventually finding the site we made our way up to the
top of the slag heap and with other birders watching them we were soon onto
them, one of the other birders mentioned they had seen a <b>Raven</b> fly into the nearby quarry so we went over to have a look and picked
it up flying around on the other side, such a big bird it dwarved the other <b>Corvids </b>and a nice bonus bird. Next up
was Broomhill Flash hoping for <b>Garganey </b>and other stuff, two drakes and a female duly obliged though distantly. We were disappointed there were no <b>Sand Martins</b> about but we knew there
had been some at Swillington Ings so after a bit of lunch we headed North, called at the Lemonroyd
Filter Beds again and with no workmen about today we managed to get onto a <b>Water Pipit</b> amongst a handful of <b>Meadows</b>, on the very windy main reserve
we failed to find the <b>Long Tailed Duck</b>
but three <b>Sand Martins</b> and the <b>Black Necked Grebe</b> were good. It was
very blowy so we soon moved on to a slightly more sheltered Fairburn Ings, the <b>Great White Egret</b> was out in a ditch
behind the Flashes today so no hoped for photo opportunity for Mark and the
feeders were also very quiet so we called it a day. </span><br />

the chance of year ticking <b>Smew</b>,
called in at Ladybridge Lakes first on the offchance Fridays <b>Ring Necked Duck</b> might have returned
but it hadn’t, a good selection of <b>Wildfowl</b>
but nothing out of the ordinary, carried on to Flasks Lake where the 1<sup>st</sup>
winter drake <b>Smew</b> has been residing
for a while but there was no sign of that neither, I suppose they all have to
go sometime, it was a lovely morning though, the <b>Great Crested Grebes</b> were displaying and I just had a steady wander
around. Late morning I headed South, Swillington Ings was next on the agenda, I
went to the Lemonroyd Filter Beds first hoping for <b>Water Pipit</b> but ironically even though it was Sunday they were
working in the compound so there was very little about although I did have my
first <b>Chiffchaff</b> of the year singing
away, the main reserve held the usual fare plus the long staying <b>Long Tailed Duck</b> on Lemonroyd Lake and
the <b>Black Necked Grebe</b> now attaining
its summer finery on the Eastern Reedbeds. Mid-afternoon I moved on to Fairburn
Ings where a walk along Lin Dyke saw the usual stuff plus a couple more <b>Chiffchaffs</b> then a local informed me
the <b>Great White Egret</b> was showing
well from the feeding platforms by the Visitor Centre, I went down and spent a
bit of time watching it feeding along the edge of the reeds then carried on to
Pickup Hide where I saw my first <b>Willow
Tit</b> for the year then gradually moved round to the Kingfisher screen where
there was not a lot happening, with nothing more to do I headed back for a second look at the <b>Egret</b> watching it until it flew off late afternoon, magnificent bird. </span><br />

couple of hours to spare this afternoon (Saturday) so I nipped down to Acaster Airfield
for another session with the <b>Great Grey
Shrike,</b> it was in the area beyond Ibbotsons Trailer Park this afternoon and initial views
from further down the road were fairly distant, however I moved back to
Ibbotsons to see if I could see it from the far side of the Trailer Park and
discovered it linked to a part of the old runway with all the hay bales lined all along
it, I walked out and soon found the bushes the <b>Shrike</b>
had been perched in and discovered it was still sat there, I approached
carefully and was quite amazed just how close it let me get, it even flew down
onto the bales to catch and dispatch a Bumblebee then flew back to the bush, it
also perched up on a couple of trees nearby and started singing at one point,
wasn’t sure whether it was in response to a pair of <b>Buzzards</b> that had started displaying. A super approachable bird but a grey cloudy afternoon meant the poor light levels didn't lend itself to photography.</span><br />

a few goodies on offer we decided on Teesside and area, started at Ward
Jackson Park in Hartlepool for Mark and Dave to year tick the <b>Parakeets</b>, carried on to the Headland
and with the reappearance of the <b>Shore
Lark</b> near the cemeteries we thought we’d try for that, a couple of birders
leaving the area told us they hadn’t seen it but then we noted a small flock of
<b>Linnets</b> drop in, don’t know if it
came in with them but all of sudden there it was and ended up showing well, on
to the Fish Quay next and the juv <b>Iceland
Gull</b> was soon located flying around, we were allowed into the compound and
ended up getting some amazing close views of it on the quayside. We headed back
calling at Newburn Bridge for the <b>Med
Gull</b> and waders then Greatham Creek were we got our first <b>Avocets</b> of the year plus some colourful <b>Grey Seals</b> then it was round to Redcar,
the <b>Velvet Scoter</b> flock was still on
the sea near the cinema but we failed to see the <b>Snow Buntings</b> by the Stray Cafe, a bit further along the road near
Marske it wasn’t looking good for the <b>Lapland
Buntings</b> in the stubble field by Fox Covert either with no sign since early
morning however a good tramp around the favoured concrete block soon flushed
one, calling as it flew although we only managed several flight views. Skinningrove
was next for another session with long staying <b>Eastern Black Redstart,</b> the <b>Stonechats</b>
were also showing well again, then it was over to Lockwood Beck Reservoir for a
<b>Water Pipit</b> found there Saturday
and still present early afternoon but unfortunately there was no sign of it
when we got there, some <b>Grey Wagtails</b>
were showing well though and a handful of <b>Bramblings</b>
were still around. We finished the day with a steady drive back home over the
Moors adding <b>Red Grouse</b> to our year
lists, all in all it was a pretty good day and we managed to get most of the target species plus the best of the weather, seeing no rain until we headed back south over the moors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Another fairly
quiet month although there are certainly signs of Spring on its way, lots of
birds singing and pairing up and plenty of activity at the Heronry over the
river on Acomb Ings. Still at least three <b>Cormorants</b>
in their favourite roost tree all month and a couple of good Raptor sightings
included a female <b>Peregrine</b> over
Clifton Park on the 10<sup>th</sup> scattering the <b>Pigeons</b> and <b>Corvids</b> when
it dive bombed them and a <b>Buzzard</b> on
the 24<sup>th</sup>, once again very few winter <b>Thrush</b> sightings and they only included a handful of <b>Redwings</b> but there was still a good number of <b>Finches</b> and <b>Buntings </b>at the Cornfield NR, the three <b>Corn Buntings</b> remaining till mid-month and the flock of <b>Linnets </b>returning at the months end. The
two <b>Roe Deer</b> have again featured regularly
in and around the Cornfield NR throughout.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

resident <b>Egyptian Geese</b> and whatever
else was there, unfortunately the <b>Geese</b>
had gone AWOL this morning and there wasn’t much else so we soon moved on to
Hackness calling in at Forge Valley feeding station en route where I year
ticked <b>Marsh Tit, Nuthatch</b> and <b>Treecreeper</b>, a quick look at the Lake
at Hackness soon found a drake <b>Mandarin </b>with
two females in tow then we headed into Troutsdale, a stop at the bridge at
Hilla Green saw a <b>Kingfisher </b>flying
upstream and a pair of <b>Dippers</b>, a
bit further up the valley we hoped for a bit of <b>Raptor</b> action but it was seemingly very quiet and we were just
thinking of giving up when a load of <b>Pigeons</b>
exploded out of the trees on the ridge behind us, Mark picked up a <b>Raptor </b>flying low in front of some
trees and I got on to it just before it disappeared into them, we were
both happy it was a <b>Goshawk</b> and it
was confirmed a few minutes later when a pair got up above the trees the large
female drifting off over the valley, we also had <b>Siskin</b> and <b>Crossbill</b> in
the area. We dropped down into Scarborough and thought we’d try for the
wintering <b>Black Redstart</b> by the
Royal Albert Cafe on Marine Drive, after several minutes scanning the sea
defences which it favours it wasn’t looking good but then all of sudden it was
there, feeding in amongst the large boulders it spent more time out of sight
than in view, the Harbour produced the <b>Great
Northern Diver</b> and <b>Black Necked
Grebe</b> which Dave still needed for the year and a few <b>Purple Sandpipers</b> along the outer wall, we had lunch at Holbeck
with up to seven <b>Med Gulls</b> one or
two now obtaining full black hoods. We headed down to Filey next to try for the
<b>Red Necked Grebe</b> in the Bay but it
was extremely windy there and with everything miles out there was little chance
of finding it so with a report of the <b>Coues’ Arctic Redpoll</b> found late yesterday at Hagg Wood, Dunnington being seen
this morning we headed back to York to have a go for that, upon arrival we
learned the <b>Redpoll</b> flock had been
spooked mid-morning and had not been relocated, we had a good tramp around the
woods for an hour and a half anyway but the best we managed was hearing a flock
of <b>Redpolls</b> flying over. </span><br />

I was back there on the Sunday with Mark, better weather, bigger twitch and it was seen briefly several times but we were always in the wrong place, thoroughly frustrated by early afternoon I gave up on it again. I hoped it would be third time lucky on the 30th but it didn't prove to be, first of all I dropped my scope smashing the casing around the eyepiece and again the bird didn't show, having superglued the scope back together (although it's misted up a bit inside now) I was back for a fourth attempt after work on the 2nd February, it had been reported around lunchtime in the original field near where some seed had been put down and upon arrival some birders informed me they had seen it about an hour previously but a dog walker had flushed the flock, I went out there anyway and found quite a few birds had returned and after 10 mins of scanning through them I got onto it but as I got it in the scope it moved deeper into the hedge then a couple of seconds later the whole flock flew off, they flew towards the Horse Paddock and I moved round there but although a big number of <b>Buntings</b> were flitting in and out of the stubble I never saw the <b>Pine Bunting</b> there, happy to have seen it but I still would have liked a better view. I tried for that better view on the 16th but sightings had become less frequent and there wasn't many birders looking and subsequently I failed to see it again then today I made my Sixth
attempt, it had been reported with regularity
from the Paddock at the north end of Kerver Lane all this last week and with already
a report from 8am that seemed the place to be, I arrived mid-morning and joined
the 10-12 birders there but there had been no further sign of it, a couple of hours
passed and a couple of local birders, Jono and Chris moved off to search other areas,
after 3+ hours it was typically looking a bit grim but then I got a text off Jono, the
birds original finder Chris Gomersall had relocated it in the original field
near the seeded area, we moved round there and joined the small group who had
seen it and fortunately after 10 mins Chris picked it out again, sat deep in
the hedge it was a bit obscured but all its features could be made out and it
was nice to get a more prolonged view, it eventually moved further into the
hedge and out of sight but about 20 mins later another birder got it near the
top of the hedge where it was more out in the open and I at last got a view I
was happy with, bloody hard work this bird has been, nice to see a few<b>
Bramblings</b> still about as well looking nice and bright as they come into
breeding finery.</span><br />

weekend we received the incredible news of a wintering <b>Bluethroat</b> at Willow Tree Fen near Spalding, South Lincs but with a
bad weather forecast for the area we weren’t tempted, however the bird has
remained present all week and been really confiding judging by all the photos
so a second opportunity was not to be passed up. Travelled down with Mark and Pete, we arrived mid-morning and
joined the fairly sizeable crowd already assembled and were a bit worried the
bird might not perform as well in front of so many people, after around 10 mins
the bird popped out from the reeds and soon allayed our fears by hopping along
the path towards us picking at the mealworms put out for it as it passed by totally
unfazed by all the bodies and sound of scores of camera shutters going off,
super little bird and it’s something really special when you get one like this,
after a second session with it it then went missing for 40 mins so happy with
our lot we took our leave. Next up we undertook a long drive over to Donna Nook
with <b>Shore Lark, Lapland Bunting</b> and
<b>Twite</b> in mind unfortunately upon
arrival we were informed they were a 2-3 mile slog along the beach, we decided
against that however it wasn’t a totally wasted journey as we had superb close views of
a male <b>Hen Harrier</b> hunting the
fields along the approach road, a bit further along the coast road we added <b>Brent Geese (dark bellied)</b> to the year
list at Horseshoe Point and then decided to end the day at Far Ings, that
proved to be rather quiet on a now very gloomy late afternoon, no hoped for <b>Bittern</b> or <b>Cetti’s Warblers</b> the best bird being a male <b>Marsh Harrier</b> that flew across Ness Pool. </span><br />

in the area, I joined Mark who was already there and had been watching it
earlier but he had lost sight of it however another birder came along and told
us it was showing a bit further back along the road, we moved down there and
got some reasonable views of it before it eventually flitted off over a hedge
and we lost it to view again, nice local bird. </span><br />

decided on Lancashire one because we like a bit of wild <b>Geese</b> chasing and two it was a better
weather forecast, we were trying for the <b>Red
Breasted Goose</b> first and headed for Pilling Moss where it was reported Saturday but there was no sign of any <b>Geese</b>
at all there in the morning, we had a drive around the area and eventually came
across another birder scanning a large flock of <b>Pinkfeet</b> near the village of Stake Pool, we joined him but a good
couple of scans only revealed two or three <b>White
Fronts</b> with them however we did note that other small flocks were dropping
in on a regular basis, we decided to hang around for a while in which time we were joined by a couple of our Leeds mates, Richard and Mike who'd had the same idea as us and after 45mins
or more I followed a flock flying in noting them to be all <b>White Fronts</b> for a change and as they landed there it was in the
middle of them, really chuffed with that and it gave good scope views, we informed our mates from Rochdale who were also in the area and a very grateful Dave, Bob and Steve who had missed this <b>Goose</b> several times arrived a bit later and luckily it never flew off before they got there, after a good bit of banter and socialising we all went our separate ways although we did bump into each other a couple more times later in the day, next up for us was Upper Thurnham where a <b>Todd’s Canada
Goose</b> had been seen earlier, didn’t manage to find it but all three species of <b>Swan</b> were nice to see, then nearby
Condor Green where we had good views of a <b>Great
White Egret </b>on the Lancaster Canal and <b>Black
Tailed Godwit</b> and <b>Spotted Redshank</b>
by the river Condor. There had been no news on the blue phase <b>Snow Goose</b> all week near Nateby with
one local telling us it was seen to fly off last Monday but another told us a
mate of his had seen it a couple of days ago in another area so after a late
lunch we thought we’d give it a try, we got to the place we’d been told but
there was nothing there so we decided to try the area it was frequenting last
weekend, again nothing but as we turned the car round and headed back Mark
espied a flock of <b>Greylags</b> in a
field next to the entrance road to the Woodlands Trust CP, we stopped and a
quick scan soon found the bird with them, lady luck was certainly with us
today, we drove down the entrance road and got a bit closer for some pics then
headed off to Southport for our final target birds, the <b>Cattle Egrets</b> at Birkdale Cop, it was quite a long drive and when
we got there we couldn’t believe we were in the right place however a reread of
the pager message took us down a track at the end of some cottages and there in
the field behind were six bonny little <b>Cattle
Egrets</b> strutting through it although fairly distant right over the other side, we ended the day
at Marshside RSPB but there was nothing much of note apart from a few <b>Pinkfeet</b> coming in to roost. </span><br />

of general year ticking today, started up at Teesside at Hartlepool Fish Quay
where the juv <b>Glaucous Gull</b> eventually
flew in and landed on a roof followed a bit later by the juv <b>Iceland Gull</b> but that appeared to land
on the Quayside and out of sight. I thought I’d have another go for the <b>Shore Lark</b> by the Jewish Cemetery next,
no sign of that but a pair of <b>Grey
Partridge</b> were a bonus, tracking back there was nothing at Jackson’s
Landing, the usual <b>Med Gull</b> and <b>Waders</b> were at Newburn Bridge, a good selection
of <b>Wildfowl</b> were at Saltholme Pools but
no sign of yesterdays <b>White Fronted
Geese</b> then on to Redcar where seven <b>Velvet
Scoter</b> were on the sea off the cinema and two <b>Snow Buntings</b> showed well behind the Stray Cafe despite all the
dogs. The next part of the plan was to head down to Scarborough and I called
off at Long Nab on the way where up to 16 <b>Shore
Larks</b> had been reported earlier unfortunately they had been flushed by a dog and
not seen again, I walked up to the next field but there was no sign, upon my
return I came across a couple who were fairly confident they had got them and indeed there was a
small flock feeding around 50 yards away but as I went through them with the
scope all I could find were <b>Skylarks</b>,
I carried on to Scarborough taking in the <b>Peregrines</b>
along Marine Drive then as I entered the Harbour my heart sank, the tide was
out and as I feared the Harbour was bereft of birds, as I walked out towards
the footbridge however I picked up the <b>Great
Northern Diver</b> on the left hand side catching crabs as usual and then while
looking out into South Bay I got onto one of the <b>Black Necked Grebes</b> swimming back to the Harbour. I finished the
day with a quick dash to Filey to search for a <b>Red Necked Grebe </b>reported earlier in the Bay corner, plenty of <b>Great Crested</b> but I couldn’t find the <b>Red Necked, </b>ended up with eight year ticks so not too bad.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">As to be expected
it was another fairly quiet period particularly December, up to four <b>Cormorants</b> remained either feeding along
the river or in their favourite roost tree and six <b>Goosanders</b> were on the river on 18<sup>th</sup> January, there were
a couple more <b>Buzzard</b> sightings one
on 19<sup>th</sup> December and the other on 10<sup>th</sup> January, also a
couple of <b>Grey Wagtails</b> were seen on
occasions but very few winter <b>Thrushes</b>
around at the moment. Most of the action has centred around the Cornfield NR
and the cold weather in January saw another big increase in <b>Yellowhammer </b>and <b>Reed
Bunting</b> numbers with three <b>Corn
Buntings</b> turning up on the 16<sup>th</sup> and remaining through the
following week, other notable January sightings were a female <b>Brambling </b>in Clifton Park on the 18<sup>th</sup>
and a <b>Little Egret</b> feeding on the
marshy area running out from the Ings Dyke on Rawcliffe Ings on the 31<sup>st</sup>.
A couple of <b>Roe Deer</b> have also
featured fairly regularly in the Cornfield NR throughout and another was seen
over the river on Acomb Ings on 24<sup>th</sup> January.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
