The Best Sort of Grey

On Saturday afternoon my oldest nephew wanted to show me his new Little Owl and Tawny Owl sites, but they failed to show.  Instead, we had to make do with a male Hen Harrier.

On Friday we had our final visit to muddy Wassand.  Apart from the  Marsh Harrier, the colourful Jay in the afternoon was the most photogenic bird.

 On a grey Thursday we crossed over the Humber Bridge, and quickly found a small flock of Redpolls, one of which was a very pink male.  Other birds included Goldeneye, Herons, a single Curlew, a large roosting group of Redshank and a very distant flock of Black-tailed Godwits.
