This morning's Pale-bellied Brents at Ferrybridge © Pete Saunders:
11th March
Lean times still on the migrant front although a small arrival of Wheatears did see the logging of their first double figure total of the season, with 8 scattered around Barleycrates/Reap, together with further singles at the Bill and Ferrybridge; a few extra Stonechats, a few Lesser Black-backed Gulls arriving in/off and the odd few Chiffchaffs here and there were not only the best of the rest but all of the rest. Three Red-throated Divers passed by off the Bill, whilst winter fare still on offer included 37 Dark-bellied and 2 Pale-bellied Brent Geese at Ferrybridge.
