First Tyke Meet of 2013 (1 Viewer)

I'm in for Feb 17. Have never been to LDV so could do with some directions.

Not sure about March yet, as we go to Mull for a week at Easter.

Richard, the car park for the Geoffrey Smith hide is roughly here. It's easy to overshoot though. On the left hand side.

Basically come along the market weighton road go through north duffield, the reserve is on the left about half a mile down the road, look out for the roadside barriers the car park is literally just before these

Shall we say 7am ;)
 
I was thinking of camping overnight as the best way;)

Richard - get there when you can as we won't be zooming off anywhere. The hides are both reached from the same path so you can't get lost...if you find the car park.:t:
 
I was at North Duffield yesterday in the snow - some good birds about, including a lot of farmland birds nearer to Bubwith. One thing to note is that the farthest hide (Garganey) is closed at the moment due to flooding.

haha I was joking, i only live 2mins down the road!

I'll probably get there early anyway, had 2 tundra bean geese fly past the hide yesterday! Also had a jaunt up to thorganby, Wheldrake Ings & Bank Island so im more familiar with the area. Willow tit at Bank Island this weekend & plenty of waders about http://andykizbirding.blogspot.co.uk/

White wingers still turning up north of the area so will be worth a look.
 
Hi all,

I might join you for this, if that's okay? I'm sort of familiar with Wheldrake/Bank Island/Skipwith (in spring/summer at least), but would like to have a gander at North Duff and Andy's new patch.

Cheers
 
Usual reply from me - don't think I can make it, but if anyone happens to be going from the Sheffield area and has a spare seat let me know.

It would be nice to see you Nick! I've got a few bits for the group if you want them too. Hopefully see you there!

Yeah, I just found that out too (that they've moved the City game to the Sunday). I may not be going to North Duffield on that day after all...

was having a think, maybe find a pub with the game on locally after a few hours birding?? I would say watch at mine but its on bloody ESPN!
