st aidens

a nice early start here.........bittern heard from the dragline  with a few more calling on my walk, really warm morning for march cetties warblers were a great numbers with 2 seen briefly.

imm marsh harrier over the eastern reedbed put all the gulls up, water rail calling near astley, 2 buzzards over the hillside usual stock doves dragline and white fronted goose flew over reedbed towards hillside

 

headed to selby to see parents so drove past fairburn, now if ive visited st aidens first fairburns not worth stopping at apart from to slow down to see the spoonbills on the moat (2 this morning) but if i go to fairburn first it make st aidens a better visit, not the biggest fairburn fan 

a good mornings birding
