On my way home from sunny Hartlepool yesterday, I ran into fog about Thirsk. So I was hoping that if I went just beyond Thirsk I might find sunshine. Sadly no. The above photo was taken from the main hide at Nosterfield.
I could hear lapwings, curlews and redshanks calling, but most of them stayed on the far side of the lake, out of sight in the gloom.
Closer to the hide teal were dabbling, a pied wagtail hunted for insects and shovelers sifted food from the water.
This lapwing and redshank were a bit closer to the hide. This black-headed gull has a damaged wing, and just kept walking up and down,
A male goldeneye was diving in the water in front of the hide.
A pleasant couple of hours. Let's hope for better weather tomorrow.
