Afterwards we had a short visit to Redcar Tarn.
Just a quick lap of the water - Ugh that water - it tastes awful.
This afternoon I made my usual visit up the local fields.
A dry but very dull and quite cold outing.
Birds:
Redcar Tarn.
2 Oystercatcher, Herring, Lesser Black-backed, Common and Black Headed Gull.
Plus probably a rare Gull that is beyond my ID capabilities?
Cormorant looks to be bombing one photograph?
Tufted Duck, Mallard, Coot, Canada Goose and a few others.
Local Fields:
Red Legged Partridge called - remained unseen.
4 Meadow Pipit.
1 Mistle Thrush.
3 Wheatear - so distant in the horse field that they were invisible till they scuttled about.
5 Stock Dove.
2 Greenfinch.
Curlew and Little Owl - both heard.
Probable Raven - bill looks right - Possibly not!
Chiffchaff heard from the garden this aft - a first for me from the garden.
Raggalds Flood:
No Ducks!
1 Lapwing, 1 Woodpigeon and 2 Stock Doves.
Water diminishing but looking at the weather for the next few days - not for long.
Redcar Tarn.
