I can't see the original sticky so will start a new thread.  Saw nearly 30,000 knot on Breydon Water yesterday.  Great weekend at Minsmere, Otter, Kingfishers, Bitterns, lots of Marsh Harriers

Went to BIL's and surprised to see a Black Cap in his garden.

I am pretty sure we have a regular Blackcap visit the feeders, but the OH thinks it is a Marsh or Willow Tit.

it moves so fast we don't get time for either the binoculars or camera to be sure.

We had a couple of Tree Sparrows on our feeder this morning. Don't know if this is usual or not. There are quite a few about here mixed in with a flock of House Sparrows. 3 Roe deer were feeding in the fields beyond the CL this evening, too.

Menace seen up the river.

Two canoeists told me of just having seen a mink swimming across the river.....30 minutes later bingo!

It came walking at my eye level across the bridge beside which I was sitting,

Ground nesting birds beware.

Stopped at the traffic lights on the main road yesterday,  and saw a Dove sitting on her nest on top of the lights, oblivious to the traffic. 

At least she won't get cold.

Op

All reported, just had a good conversation with Stephen Macey co-ordinator, and he has just informed me that the local gamekeeper has set up a mink trap opposite my sighting place.

Here's hoping.

That's great GL, hope they get it trapped soon.  

The animal rights group who mass released them just didn't do either the wildlife or the mink and favours

We've just moved on today from Keld Knowle Cl, near Pickering to Branwood CL at Bempton.

Rode over to the RSPB reserve this afternoon just for a quick look. As well as all the Guillimots & Gannets a pair of Puffins on th cliff face were pointed out to me. I certainly wouldn't have spotted them by myself. Just before leaving a Short Eared Owl appeared and flew around a few times close to the Centre.....so seen one at last, hurrah!!laughing
