Review of the week 2

Got the outdoor bug now so decided to hit the dales.....

Explored a new spot near Masham and was not disappointed Great crested grebe and a stunning Red Kite.

Groundhog day!

Had to go off patch today but managed a quick detour around Pately Bridge, and was in for a treat. Arrived at Gouthwaite reservoir only to be told that I had just missed the long tailed duck!
 Bit of a pattern here as I used to specialize in missing grade "A" birds but did manage to get a cracking haul for just a couple of hours effort. I had Curlew,Goldeneye,Lapwing,Great crested grebe,Slovanian grebe,Teal,Wigeon,Mistle Thrush,Grey lag,Canada geese,Black grouse,Kestrel,Willow Tit, and a superb peregrine.



Slav grebe showed well and the pair of great crested grebes.


Nice to see some of the common stuff up close too.

Back to the LDV this week and awaiting waders!!
