Common Crane at Alkborough Flats, 'Ringed' Gulls and Ducks

Not a good day  - Wayne got up before me and saw a Common Crane at Alkborough  - by the time he picked me up it had gone - that's life!  Other birds of the day whilst doing the Humber Webs count  included two Gulls both ringed - a Common Gull and Herring Gull, some fabulous ducks ie Wigeon and Teal and a very nice Great Crested Grebe.  We also had a stunning drake Smew which was flushed by walkers so no photos!

taken at a distance of about half a mile

  1. Looks pretty good for "not a great day"! The gull from behind looks like it is speed skating.
