The water arrived with a vengeance and flooded out the North Duffield Carrs.<br />
<br />
Greated by lots of Black headed gulls who were picking off the poor unfortunate voles and shrews who were in a state thanks to all the water,<br />
<br />
Kingfisher wizzing around in front of the hide was a nice surprise but was clearly in a state due to all the water in the wrong place.<br />

You can just make out the River Derwent starting to burst its banks.Then as the water started to rise I noticed this poor Mole attempting to escape the rising water levels, (made it today but not sure about tomorrow)<br />

Teal, Pintail,Wigeon,Shovelor were all present as were good numbers of Golden Plover,Lapwing,Dunlin with a few Knot and Redshank also noted.<br />
<br />
Peregrine put on a nice display but seems to lack the final killer touch.<br />
<br />
Curlew and a couple of english grey partridge were also nice to see.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nothing like as much water as there usually is at this time of year but loads of birds!<br />
<br />
Started with the usual Stonechats and lots of Wigeon and Teal/<br />
<br />
Plenty of Golden plover,Lapwing,Dunlin and Curlew.<br />
<br />
No raptor show today with the exception of four high soaring Buzzards.<br />
<br />
Barn owl put on a nice display late on despite been mugged by the Kestrel.<br />
<br />
42 Whoopers and 1 Black swan<br />
<br />

<br />
Started with a nice distant Stonechat and all the usual finches and tits. Then had a look across the valley and observed 300-500 Teal and Wigeon.<br />
<br />
Then I was joined by the military.<br />
<br />
Down side all the birds in the valley went up!<br />
<br />
Plus side it exposed dozens more birds who were obviously hiding in the reeds and surrounding trees and shrubs.<br />
<br />

After everything had settled down and spending sometime watching Buzzards soaring across the valley, it became very noticeable that the valley was full of Skylarks at least 20 separate birds were observed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Came across the remains of what looked like a Snipe (could be wrong) very neat leftovers though.</div>

A nice Kestrel, Little grebe and Pochard were all welcome after the military fly pass,<br />
<br />
Then the main event!!!<br />
<br />
All the birds in the valley were clearly on edge!<br />
Were the military on their way back?<br />
<br />
I observed an amazing site a Marsh Harrier and a Peregrine Falcon and i swear (if i didn't know better) that these two birds were working as a team.<br />
<br />
First the Harrier flushed the birds on the water mainly Teal,Wigeon,Snipe and Golden plover and the odd Curlew then the Peregrine would dive bomb the birds,they were absolutely petrified.<br />
<br />
This went on for the best part of half an hour before two Chinook helicopters flew low across the valley and at that point both raptors took off down the valley. What a cracking morning.<br />

<br />
It was nice to get not one but at least 3 separate birds in the last week.<br />
<br />
Water levels on the NDC are much lower than you would expect at this time of year but that only means that most of the birds down here are concentrated in a much smaller area.<br />
<br />
Still lots of Whoopers, Stone chat, Pintail, Teal and Wigeon, and up to 5 Pochard.Big numbers of Golden plover,Dunlin and Knot also observed, Healthy flock of Lapwing too.<br />
<br />
Barn Owl return.<br />

Had a wander down to the GS hide this morning and met up with a couple of other local birders<br />
<br />
Visibility was not great and all the birds were distant. Many more swans than in recent weeks at least 70 birds and the place was awash with waders Dunlin,Golden Plover and Lapwing were by the far the most abundant.<br />
<br />
Peregrine was flushing the birds up every now and again and a very pale local Buzzard was also keeping them on their toes.<br />
<br />
Managed to get a quick view of a Robin which was frantically defending its territory against what i at first thought was another Robin.<br />
<br />
But alas not it was two Stonechats a very nice bonus!!!<br />

<br />
Wigeon and Teal were abundant as were a huge flock of Shelduck. Plenty of Snipe among the drainage ditches and Grey Heron patrolling.<br />
<br />
Finally as i was about to leave one of the other birders in the hide spotted 4 Black Tailed Godwit in the distance and four Redshank.<br />
<br />
Not a bad morning me thinks.<br />

<br />
Should put that to rights this year and might even include some dales stuff.<br />
<br />
Started off the year with some new kit and determined to get more time to go birding.<br />
Had a little trip to Castle Howard and Pocklington.<br />

Back to the LDV on Sunday and found my self 4 feet away from a Barn Owl not sure who was the most startled me or the Owl!<br />
<br />
By the time I had got out the camera it was well away. (Mental note) get camera out of bag before you go out birding.<br />

High gusting winds seem to prevent many birds from showing their faces,but never one to give in it was best foot forward and a quick walk around the village.<br />

Not much about in the fields with the exception of corvids and pigeons.<br />
Moved on to the North duff carrs wind now stronger than ever but was greeted by two hungry Bullfinch.<br />
(pic not great)<br />

Lots of Chaffinch and some huge Gulls drifting through the valley. Carried on and came across the larger than normal flock of Whoopers easily 50+ was only 35 last week. Bewicks?<br />

Decided to try the Carrs at North Duffield as the lanes were getting busy with weekend dog walkers and horseriders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as I arrived so did a flock of upto 150 mixed Canada and Grey lags as well as 3-4 Pink footed geese.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
35+ Whoopers still around and the single Black Swan a flock of 250+ Lapwings arrived with 25+ Ruff and the same amount of Dunlin. Shelduck and Pintail flying down the river and a procession of Gulls and Cormorants visible. Sparrowhawk scattered all the Lappies but did not spoil the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the list for the day was Magpie,Rook,Crow,Jackdaw,Woodpigeon,Siskin,Longtailed tit,BlueTit,Great tit, House sparrow,TreeSparrow,Chaffinch,Bullfinch,Greenfinch,Wren,Robin,Dunnock,Starling,Pheasant,Partridge,Redpol,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Moorehen,Coot,Whooper swan,Mute swan, Black swan,Sparrowhawk,Kestrel,Goldfinch,Goldcrest,Ruff,Pintail,Shelduck,GSW,Hen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And probably some that i have missed.</div>

<br />
Wasn't expecting too much this morning as a stiff cold wind was blowing across the valley, but I decided to plod on and was rewarded with a cracking Siskin and a stunning male Bullfinch.<br />
<br />
Still loads of Crows and Rooks busy in the newly ploughed fields and a couple of huge Herring gulls flew over.<br />
<br />
Then after at least 6 months of not seeing one a Kestrel was hunting in the fields.<br />

Down on the Ings this Robin was a nice greeting (given the time of year) it followed me down the path and as I looked across to the new feeder a huge Buzzard emerged from the undergrowth.<br />

Had a wander down to the local hides this afternoon a few Fieldfare about and a nice Sparrowhawk.From the Geoff smith hide I could see 4 Swans in the distance so decided to have a look from the gargany hide. The LDV team are making a cracking job of repairing the paths ready for the oncoming water.(thanks to all concerned)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On arriving in the hide I was greeted by this poor unfortunate soul not sure how it got here but it was clear from the feathers in the hide that at some point it had been trapped inside.</div>

<br />
Sadly nothing doing! even my best site nothing, what has happened to all the Barn Owls in the Lower Derwent Valley?<br />
<br />
any input appreciated.<br />
<br />
Could not help but notice that the hedgerows are still groaning under the weight of uneaten fruit and then as if by magic in came a huge flock of Fieldfare at least 200+ birds.<br />
