The Shadoxhurst Garden mob are up so the pressure was on to find some good birds and it started with one of my favourite birds of all time sitting on our aerial - the Mistle Thrush, not rare or scarce but a good bird never the less. We set off for the Humber and east of Read’s Island we had a good flock of 984 Avocets being chased around by a Peregrine and a couple of Marsh Harriers over the Island. Further on up at Far Ings we then had good (but not good enough for photos) of the Ferruginous Duck which seems to have settled in for the autumn and also a nice fly by Bittern.
On Ness Pit the Alkborough Chiloe Widgeon was showing well - not a wild bird but nice to see
and whilst looking for a Jack Snipe could only find a Common Snipe.
In Normanby Park at the moment we have plenty of Goldfinch and Siskins plus a small flock of Crossbills commuting to and from Little Normanby.
