Trying to get out birding whenever the weather is suitable. Today i went to RSPB Blacktoft Sands.
Lots of vehicles in the car park, visitors and volunteers. It was the last working party of the year and the team were installing the new seats.
RSPB York Local group, amonst others have donated money to but these seats, which will replace the old wooden ones which have come to the end of their working life.
The first photo and the two above this text were taken from Ousefleet hide. All 6 Konik ponies were in the area. A couple of them walked across to the islands and disturbed the birds. Lots of teal, shoveler and I guestimated about 2000 lapwings.
A kingfisher was sat on one of its favourite posts in fron ot Reedling hide.
The marsh harriers were very active and this one was sat in front of 1st hide.
Still no sign of a hen harrier on the days that I visit.
It was good to see all the team for the last time this year.
