Wakeham

A new arrival to the bird feeders today with a male Chaffinch closely followed by the female. That's 10 species recorded on the feeders now. Here's the full list to date: Wood Pigeon, Robin, Song Thrush, Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Magpie, House Sparrow, Chaffinch and Goldfinch.

Two new arrivals to the feeders, a pair of Chaffinches.

Ferrybridge

It was a quick trip down to Ferrybridge at lunchtime to see if there was anything about. A bit disappointing really, with just a handful of Red-breasted Mergansers, 4 Cormorants and 20+ Herring Gulls, Black-headed Gulls and a Great Black-backed Gull. Overhead 21 Linnets flew north and there was a single Rock Pipit on the beach.
