Hi everyone,
My first port of call was Butterwick Hale,in the village of East Butterwick, about four miles south west of Scunthorpe.
Arrived at 08:30 and departed at 10:00. It was sunny and damp underfoot.
There wasn't the usual amount of birds there, but this is what I saw:
Mistle Thrush - 2
Magpie - 1
Reed Bunting - 3 [2 m & 1 f ]
Wood Pigeon - !
C.Crow - 5
Blue Tit - 1
Moorhen - 8
Canada Geese - 2
Greylag " - 47
Blackbird -2
Rook - 1
Mallard - 1
Redshank - 2
Shelduck - 2
Black-headed Gull - 6
Teal - 30
Wigeon - 15
Lapwings
Rabbit - 1
MESSINGHAM SAND QUARRIES 11:00 - 11:30 & 13:45 - 15:15 Sunny and Showers
Only went to try and catch a glimpse of the Firecrest. It seemed that quite a few others had the same idea, with quite a few cars being there. From what I could gather no one had seen it. Went back later and most of the cars had gone. Went to try my luck again, but didn't see it. One thing I did see was 26 Curlew flying north over the car park. So my trip to MSQ was not wasted.
Regards Intellectual.
