RSPB Fairburn Ings.

 

Birding before and after safety checks today. My first session was at the Pickup hide, where the cold wind was blowing straight through the windows! The bird feedes were empty so not many visitors. 18 birds on my list before I started the checks.

After the checks at St. Aidans I returned to the Lin Dike end of Fairburn.

The wind was still as strong but the trees and bushes along the footpath were providing some shelter.

A pair of wagtails were looking for food along the muddy edge.

Lots of black-headed gulls, a few pairs of goldeneye and 4 sand martins were part of my list of 33 birds.

Lots of activity at the feeders in the car park.

Nosterfield tomorrow.
