Brookie's Diary

• Friday, February 8, 2008 - Fairburn Ings

Arriving at Fairburn Ings, I went along the Cut path to see if I could find the reported LSW. With extensive searching I could not find the elusive quarry, it escapes again. I did see however Coal, Long Tailed, Great and Blue Tits, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Treecreeper,  and a Green Woodpecker 'yaffling'. The water held Tufted Duck, Pochard, Mallard but no Smew at this end. I then made my way to the visitor centre area to see Siskin, Tree Sparrow more Blue and Great Tits around the feeders. The hide area giving up Shelduck and Shoveler along with a Green Sandpiper a nice surprise to end the tour. >List <
