Swillington Ings

 Sunday 28th September a.m.

After some early mist the sun came out with a temperature of 12°C at one of West Yorkshires better birding locations.   As always plenty of birds to see and hear with several Cetti's Warblers being very vocal, a couple of Willow Warblers were also spotted.  There were five early returning Goldeneye seen also plenty Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler, Pochard, Gadwall & Tufteds.  There were several Snipe well camouflaged in the vegetation plus Lapwings, Cormorants, Coots, Canadas, Greylags, Gt Crested Grebes & Little Grebes.  Overhead a distant Buzzard & Kestrel were seen, a party of LT Tits went passed me and to round off a great morning three Great White Egrets were seen.
