No photos as the weather continues to be blowing a gale with nothing keeping still! Highlight of the weekend has to be finding a family of breeding Curlew within the Scunthorpe Reporting Area and I'm pretty sure I know of another pair just need to check them out - today we decided not to go to Spurn and see Icterine Warbler, Rosefinch, Golden Oriole, Marsh Warbler but instead find our own birds at Humberston - so we saw a Little Egret and a Corn Bunting and for the third time we didn't see the White Tailed Eagle hanging out on the Wolds. Friday evening also saw us on a wild goose chase - searching out a Marsh Warbler at Messingham which turned out to be a Reed Warbler.
HOT OFF THE PRESS - Barn Owl hunting in paddock at end of our garden as I type! first Barn Owl I have seen since the dreadful winter - at least one has survived and the way it was hunting and shot off with prey it must be feeding young not far away.
