An afternoon out in dismal weather, so I took a drive around Tealham and Tadham Moors in a second attempt to locate the Whooper Swans and Cattle Egret that we missed out on last week....well we missed out again this week!!
Constantly stopping and scanning the moors I saw at least twenty Little Egrets and several hundred Lapwing were out in the fields, and thought the latter were often taking to the air I could not find any raptors harassing them. However, I did count a small flock of six Golden Plover and then another slightly larger flock of twenty birds. So a year tick and not a completely wasted afternoon out.
