Monday April 25th early a.m.
Today we went back to Redcar Tarn high above Keighley,it was a bit chilly
around 9°C and overcast. Again there were 20 Tufted Ducks on the Tarn along with
25 Mallards,one with chicks, 3 Mute Swans, 4 Canadas,6 Coots,2 Moorhen, 8 Black-
Headed Gulls, 2 Lesser Black Backed Gulls, 1 Swallow flew over,1 Goldfinch on the path.
We saw 10 Lapwings in the nearby fields and as we were leaving a Curlew flew over.
It was also nice to see the lambs in the farmers field.
Another good visit with plenty of bird life to see.

Hello Danny. Great blog. A 'Friends of Keighley Redcar Tarn' has been established recently and we wondered if we you would give us permission to use some of your photographs to promote an 'open day' event for the general public to enjoy the area. We would like to use some of your photos on a poster to be displayed around Keighley.
ReplyDeleteHi Shaun, I'm happy for you to use some of our Photographs, let me know how you get on.
ReplyDeleteRegards Danny.
Thanks. The group will be over the moon. I will send over a copy of the poster. Lets hope folk buy into the Friends of project and the Tarn benefits from its activities.
