Saturday 1st June a.m.
A dull cloudy morning with a temperature of 13°C up at Redcar Tarn where there was a good selection of birds as usual.Always good to listen to the
Skylark singing and watch it soar in to the sky,
a
Redshank did a circuit of the Tarn and a couple of
Oystercatchers flew over.Also flying over the water were
Sand Martin, House Martin, Swallow and
Swift with
Canadas moving around and a pair on the banking with 5 goslings.Not to be out done a
Mallard had eight young chicks and there were also
Coots with chicks.There were just a couple of
BH Gulls but 25
LBB Gulls were present, others included
Rook, Jackdaw, Lapwing and
Tufteds.
The highlight of the morning was spotting a
Little Ringed Plover on the island and the bonus of getting some decent pictures.
