Marine Drive, Scarborough

Any early morning wonder around the end of the Marine Drive this morning produced good views of a Juvenile Wheatear, assumingly awaiting the right time to head of to warmer climates for the winter.

What a lovely little bird and such a poser!!!

Adjacent Hide, Scalby Lodge Ponds, Scarborough

A while since my last blog, due to holiday's and family visiting, but hopefully new blogs to add soon, with birds on the move and lots to see.

First blog back is just Greenfinchs, but great views of a number gorging on the ripe Oil Seed Rape, adjacent the Scalby Lodge Pond hide.

Terns

Terns

Scalby Mills and North Bay, Scarborough

Cracking way to start of a new moth, a quiet late evening walk on the beach and a view of Common and Sandwich Terns diving and fishing for San Eels.

Not great photos as getting darkish, but a great record and sight, as honestly not seen them locally before and thought a trip to Northumberland was needed.
