1 Merlin
1 Barn Owl
Pair Stonechat

Read's Island:

5 Marsh Harrier(4 juv/ist wint and 1st adult male)
1 Peregrine

Barton Pit's:

5 Bittern at least!! at Far-Ings(Brilliant views of at least 3 birds on the ice at the edge of the reedbeds)
male Smew

Worlaby Carrs:

2 Barn Owl
female/1st wint. Hen Harrier
4 Stonechat(2m,2f)


Regards



Steve.

A good count of Bitterns. There has also been recent sightings of them at Rimac and over Covenham Res - presumably continental birds brought in by the cold weather?

I'm of the same ilk as Chris when you say that 73 is miserable, I think you could have worded it different. I would imagine most of the members of this forum would be ecstatic in getting that number, I certainly would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On average I get maybe 40 for a days birding so it looks as if I'm going to have VERY MISERABLE 2010 :lol: unless of course I'm having days out with you :lol:

Regards

Max
