The early morning rain cleared away leaving cloudy conditions slowly brightening
with a temperature of 6°C on our arrival at Redcar Tarn.There was a single female
Goosander on the water with a variety of Gulls.There were 60 Lapwings on the
island with a large flock in a nearby field, where there were some Starlings as well.
There were additional Starlings on an overhead wire up the road, walking round the
Tarn we saw a group of Chaffinch and with them unusally for this site were some
Blue Tits & Goldfinch.

ReplyDeleteNK has had 1 on 2 occasions at Ogden and they,ve also been seen at TMR
NK tried to put a comment on about the gull but it wouldnt accept it ?
Thanks Brian, something different for me to look out for there will try and see if I have some more pics and do a comparison to help me see the differences.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why NK couldn't comment maybe a problem somewhere on the google/blog network,Nigel's comments are always welcome.
