St. Aidans and Fairburn Ings.

 

I am volunteering as a marshal for a run at St. Aidans on Sunday. I went today to check out where I will be helping.

The sunshine helped to give the area a touch of spring after the past cold weather. I walked to my marshalling point and on the way I saw my first great crested grebes of the year and a covey of grey partridge, ticks number 97 and 98.

I called in at Fairburn Ings on my home and saw a green woodpecker near the Pickup hide, tick number 99 and just as I was leaving the village a collared dove, tick number 100.
