Friday 5th August p.m.
An afternoon visit up to Redcar Tarn where it was cloudy with some sunny spells and a temperature of 17°C.Here there were good numbers of
BH and
LBB Gulls also it was good to see a
Common Gull, some of the birds were on the water and others were in the surrounding fields.Also in the surrounding fields were several
Lapwings, there were a few
Pied Wagtails around one landing on a wall and posing for a good snap.Both
Coots and
Moorhens had young chicks, no doubt having to be careful of a
Grey Heron that flew over.There was just one male
Tufted Duck but we had a good count of 65
Canadas, also overhead
Swallows,House Martins and four
Swift still hanging on before they fly South.
