Redcar Tarn

We had a run out to Redcar Tarn, Keighley, after lunch today.

Another wet outing with bands of showers passing through on a brisk wind.

Lots of Gulls about as usual.

Birds:-

Black Headed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull.

Herring Gull, Common Gull.

Possibly Yellow Legged Gull.

I'm not savvy enough to separate Caspian Gull from Herring Gull, so it could be that KM's recent 2nd Winter Caspian Gull could be present and go un-noticed by me.

I have a photo of a likely candidate but the head is probably not light coloured enough for Caspian.

Cormorant, 3 Goosander, Canada Goose.

Tufted Duck, Coot, Mallard, Heron.

Starling, Lapwing, Dunnock, Great Tit.

Raggalds flood had a few Canada Geese including 2 Hybrid types.
