Blacktoft Sands and Askham Bog.

 Marsh harriers have been providing visitors with lots of excellent views as they fly close to hides hunting for food for their young. With 10/11 active nests there is always something to watch.

Large numbers of little egrets on site including this young one

this one was having a bad hair day when it was windy.

one little egret has started to perch in this tree outside reception hide.

A visit to Askham Bog on Tuesday.

Lots of bird song, chiffchaffs, willow warblers, blackcaps, but unable to get more than a glimpse of the birds due to the leaves etc.

A wren was singing from the top of a bush

Lots of butterflies

Used my phone for the above picture, the birds were so tame.
