Had a good day today - weather dry and even a little sunny so off winter swan hunting to Worlaby Carrs where we soon picked up on 8 Bewicks, 5 Whoopers and 38 Mutes so a good start especially as we had also seen a female Smew at Bagmoor on the way to the swans. Whilst at Worlaby we had a call from a friend who was watching an Iceland Gull at Bagmoor so we returned just to see it flying off having been flushed by a Hen Harrier! Later in the day we decided on a spot of wader watching at New Holland where we dropped in on a small roost of 220 Redshank, 2 Knot, 2 Black-Tailed Godwits and around 300 Turnstones - also on the Humber 11 Goosander and 50+ Mute Swans.
