The sun was shining on our arrival at Redcar Tarn with a brisk wind and a temperature of
12.5°C.There were a good number of Mallards but the other usual birds were less in number,
these being Canadas,Tufted Ducks,BH Gulls & Coots. The Coot chicks have grown fast and are
now agood size.As we walked round we spotted some LBB Gulls enjoying the sun in a nearby
field ,a Pied Wagtail flew towards us from behind the Gulls & landed in front of us & posed briefly
for a snap.Swallows & Swift flew over the water & we were pleased to see some House Martins
join them.Others seen were Lapwings & Skylark plus other common species,the clouds were now
building up, coming in from Ovenden Moor with the wind farm no longer visible,we left as some
drizzle began to fall.
