Fairburn Ings and St. Aidans

 

Health and safety checks to day at both reserves. On my way from Fairburn to St, Aidans I saw a spoonbill, my first year tick of the day. After I had completed the checks at St. Aidans I went for a walk.

A little owl was in the compound, tick number 2 for the day. I saw my first wheatear of the year on the ridge and furrow part of the reserve, tick number 3. Much further along I saw my first black necked grebe of the year to take my year total to 137.

On the way back I had another look for the little owl and saw this one in a different spot.
