Swillington Ings

Nothing to write home about again. I may have had a 2 second glimpse of Gt White Regret 😭in distant flight but have to let it fly 😏. I certainly did get 1 Little Egret and a lady kindly told me 2 flew right over my noggin.



1 Kingfisher was the first in quite a while. c250 Lapwing. Plenty of  Badwalls & Tufted. 3 Little and many more GC Grebe.




7/8 Common Tern, few Common Gull & Herring, many LBBG.

2/3 Sedge & a couple WW. 1 Sand Martin couple Swallow and a few House Martin.
Exiting the reserve a Buzzard past overhead from Woodlesford.

Apperently the people in charge of this branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Birds are worried about the lack of Stonechats since Spring. This does appear to be mirrored in the area I squander my life on.
