Swans for starters!

February 7th: Thorn Bank road near Wroot

A field south of the road held lots of mute swans, a lonesome whooper and, separate from the rest, a group of 5 Bewick's swans... Bewick's Swan Bewick's Swan Bewick's Swan

This time it was down to Willow Tree Fen LWT near Spalding to see if I could encounter a friendly bluethroat. Bluethroat Bluethroat Bluethroat Bluethroat Bluethroat Bluethroat

Valentine's Day: Scorton and Greatham Creek

Report from Scorton gravel pits claimed an early or overwintering little ringed plover. I may have missed it but all I could find was a single ringed plover.

I carried on to walk the Salterns and Greatham Creek at Hartlepool. No sign of spotshank but quite a few [5] greenshank and the predictable rest.

Along the Creek I was shooting into the sun so the light was tricky. Curlew Curlew

Redshanks, brown feet! Redshank

Oyk! Bathtime!

Dead carline thistles always seem attractive... Carline Thistle

...but there were a few signs that spring isn't far away. Coltsfoot

Dessert at Phil Stead's place!
