Mute Swan - 35 at Wansford, 3 elsewhere. Incl flocks of 60 and 40. Tufted Duck - 28 . and surprisingly a year tick! .

Those who check in regularly will know that the frequency of my blogs on this site has reduced drastically. That is not to say that I have stopped publishing photos from my days out - quite the contrary. This page will largely become defunct from here on. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you on Facebook. Friday, 29 March 2013.

Thursday, 14 February 2013. Clan of the Burger Burners Pocklington Paddle. Well, what can I say, we tried but failed to get the hammocks out and play in the woods last weekend. So, to salvage the weekend passes so graciously granted by our better halves, an impromptue paddle on the canal was arranged.

I went out after work on Thursday to Blacktoft Sands for a Spotted Crake. Found there at the start of the week, they used to be a regular Autumn bird but have become rather scarce in recent years, always nice to see, it was showing well this afternoon from First Hide in the company of one or two Water Rails. Also a good selection of Waders. Present although no big numbers as yet, a bit dull this afternoon so the Harriers.
