Nosterfield N.R. was our first stop. We were hoping to see a lesser yellowlegs, but could not find it.
A local birder told us about an area close to the reserve, where he had seen pink footed and white fronted geese. We travelled up and down the road he told us about but did not find the geese.
Later on the chap was parked on the road and we stopped and looked through his scope at some pink feet, but no white fronted geese.
Ellerton Lake was our second stop where we added ring necked duck and scaup to our list.
Not far from here was our last stop, a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Reserve, Bolton-on-Swale Gravel Pit.
A cattle egret is often present but it does not come into roost until later in an evening so we left.
A lot of goldeneye were present, including this one.
A great white egret was on the other side of the water.
A good day out with Chris.
