Brookie's Diary

• Saturday, February 23, 2008 - Blacktoft Sands

Blacktoft Sands to try and see the elusive Hen Harrier. Tree Sparrow, Greenfinch, Woodpigeons greeted us in the car park. On to the reserve and Marsh Harrier was one of the first birds we saw. Ducks were plenty with Shovelers, Teal, Mallard, Goldeneyes and Shelducks. Up at the Ousefleet hide a few waders were added to the list with Redshank and Black Tailed Godwits. We waited until dusk but no Hen Harrier and no bonus bird in the form of a Barn owl

About Me

I have created this blog site to give me somewhere to record my sightings and possibly to share my sightings with others who like myself have an interest in birds and wildlife. With hopefully showing my results in digiscoping. Set up Opticron ES80 ED with Samsung i6 camera
