Almost Worth The Whitehome Slog

Who has added 3 miles to the route I have done several times I wonder. The route is the same but the path has surely been extended and No it’s nowt to do with old age!

Birds were very hard come by so when I espied 3 dark

sea ducky shapes in the middle of Whiteholme Reservoir I almost started Palpitating. I got the bins on em then put the camera at longest magnification which confirmed my thoughts of 3 Common Scoter 🤪. The photos are not fit to publish however 🙁.

7 Greylags and a similar number of Canadas also here plus a few Meadow Pipit.

Blackstone Res had a Wheatear, 6/7 Swallow, 1 each Common Sandpiper & Pied Wagtail.

I found this road kill Large Yellow Underwing - thanks to DJS for species confirmation.
