4 cattle egret at Fairburn Ings

 

Firstly a picture of our local fox who was settling down for a Sunday evening nap.

Today I was at Fairburn Ings and St. Aidans to complete the usual H&S checks. Not brilliant weather

Blustery winds and showers of rain at St. Aidans. The kestrel were mating on the big digger and a little owl was sat on top of a concrete fence post.

I returned to Fairburn Ings and spent some time at the Lindike end of the reserve. The feeders in the car park were still attracting birds.

willow tits were among the visitors

I then walked down the footpath towards the hide and noticed that the highland cattle were close to the footpath. There 4 cattle egrets in the field with the cattle.
