And at lunchtime today (Saturday 22nd) - this time along drain nearby… Also Ravens, Fieldfares, very obliging Great White Egret near Jack’s Drove.
The Bean Goose was still present this morning (Wednesday) near where the north drain crosses the Tealham road. No sign of a Whitefront but I was treated to a raptor fest. Firstly a ringtail Hen Harrier flew across the moor before heading south towards the pumping station. Then 10 minutes later, a Peregrine put up the Lapwings and gulls on the flooded fields before interacting with a passing Marsh Harrier! A single Common Buzzard was sitting on a gatepost watching the action.
There was also a single greylag hanging out with another group of swans
