Saturday 31st August a.m.
It was cloudy when we arrived at Yeadon Tarn with a temperature of 12.5°C, there were
some sunny intervals though. A good number of c125
Mallards were spread out around the
Tarn,
BH Gulls,a couple of
Common Gulls & a
Grey Heron were on the barriers at the
airport end.Both
Swallows & House Martins were over head with
Coots,Moorhen & Mute
Swans on the water.It was good to see a pair of Moorhens with two young chicks and two
of the Mute Swan treated us to a fly past.As we headed for the car park we stopped to watch
three
Willow Warblers flitting about in a stand of trees where the sun was now shinning, a
Chiffchaff also broke into song which was unexpected this late in the year.
