Not a weather report but a painting!. No one would want to be outside posing for a painting in this weather. The wind had a cold feel to it, I hope that the young birds are doing ok. Will their parents be able to find food for them?
After completing the H&S checks I had a walk around St, Aidans. Lots of wildlife, despite the cold weather.
Lots of flowers including orchids, and reed buntings singing from every vantage point.
I then drove to Fairburn Ings and walked down to Lin Dike hide.
A family of canada geese and several lapwings were on a flash just before the hide.
From the hide I saw a common sandpiper
then a spoonbill arrived
in the distance, a cattle egret was standing on a cows back
a little egret came to feed
a lapwing and avocet also came close for a feed
a shelduck family were slowly going around the edge of the water
A cold but pleasant hour.
