Back to Blacktoft

 Went to Blacktoft Sands today as the weather forecast was not brilliant and I could soon get from hide to hide. The team are busy refurbishing the reception hide so there are a couple of gazebo's near the path crossroads for a couple of weeks.

Marshland had a good mix of waders. Avocets, black-tailed godwit, redshank, spotted redshank, ruff and a single lapwing.


The green sandpipers have moved to Townend lagoon, while the two young marsh harriers were still hunting over Reedling lagoon and came close to the hide. A couple of great white egrets were busy feeding on the lagoon as well.

This baby Robin had followed Martin from Singleton hide to where the gazebo is near the crossroads.


Several little egrets on site and two on Marshland gave the appearance of a two headed one!


North Cave tomorrow.
