Lodmoor RSPB Reserve
This morning I visited Lodmoor RSPB Reserve in the pouring rain. Annoyingly when I had to leave, the rain stopped and it brightened up.
There were many highlights and despite the rain I did at least add 13 birds to add to my year list, plus Dunlin which were at Ferrybridge earlier on, to bring my year total to #50 species.

The one bird I did dip on was an apparent Green-winged Teal, which has been on the reserve for the past few days. There were several other birders looking for it, but to no avail.
