Redcar Tarn

Friday 26th October p.m.
A sunny afternoon with a temperature of 7°C up at Redcar Tarn where there was a good selection of birds with winter flocks increasing.There were c150 Lapwings moving around the surrounding fields with several at the edge of the Tarn, the sun was on them making for good pictures.There were also c100 Canadas and 25 Greylags in a nearby field with the main birds on the water being c100 BH Gulls with a sprinkling of Common,Herring and LBB Gulls.A Grey Heron was on the island and only three Tufted Ducks were seen during my walk around the Tarn.
