Saturday 27th August 2011 – Afternoon


14:30 > 15:30
Heavy rain, cloud, then hale and a cold 12c.

Fooled by the initial sun, I took the wrong option in taking a detour home through the Ouse Valley as the heavens opened on a couple of occasions on a wet blustery day.

A handful of Yellow Wagtail still remain in Top Field whilst on the farmhouse wall a Little Owl looked on. 

Down in and around the water around 50 Lapwing a Green Sandpiper and two Little Egrets got some respite while a Kingfisher darted along the Ouse.

To the eastern end of the site and adult Common Buzzard was seen with a juvenile so possibly another breeding success at Manor Farm as birds are always seen in this area.
