Last Sunday, Jayne and I went across to RSPB Blacktoft Sands to try and add a few more species to the Year List. We were very successful, adding 5 new species, as well as enjoying 5 Marsh Harriers hunting over the reedbeds, a fly-by Bittern, a very showy Water Vole from Reception Hide and my first Red Admiral of the year.
Water Vole
The new birds seen were: Avocet (129), Little Ringed Plover (130), a ringtail Hen Harrier (131), Little Egret (132) and Tree Sparrow (133).
Little Egret
Other birds around the site included: Greylag and Canada Goose, Shelduck, Wigeon, Teal, Curlew, Black-tailed Godwit, Snipe, Redshank, Lapwing, Bearded Tit (seen briefly over the reedbeds), Yellowhammer, Blackcap and Cetti's Warbler (heard).
