No photos but plenty of birds including our first Cuckoos - 1 at Normanby Enterprise and 1 at Messingham, 8 Wheatears around Messingham, 4 Yellow Wagtails and Whitethroat at Butterwick Hale. On Thursday I also had a Little Gull at Normanby Enterprise.
Whilst at Messingham we also experienced a "first" in the form of a Black-Headed Gull being grabbed and pulled completely under the water by a huge Pike - immediately the whole Gull flock started mobbing the area and eventually the Pike let go and the stricken Gull managed to swim to safety but was unable to fly clear - its wings were not broken so it must have suffered some serious injury to its underparts - interestingly the rest of the Gull colony continued to mob the injured Gull.
