Good day for butterflies

Speckled Wood

Wayne not at work today so we decided to do the rounds looking for migrants but first two really good finds only a stones throw from Normanby (but I shalln't say where) - breeding Marsh Harrier and breeding Grey Heron a good start to the day!  Rest of the days' highlights as follows;

Burton Brick Pits - Grasshopper Warbler, Willow Tit, Lesser Whitethroat

Alkborough Village - Male Nuthatch feeding female at nest site

Alkborough Flats - 2 Little Egret, 2 Greenshank

Twigmoor - 3 Buzzards

MSQ - nothing much! however did see Speckled Wood, Orange Tip and Brimstone butterflies.

On arriving home we had a welcoming committee in the front garden - see above photo!
