On our third attempt we caught up with the
Spotted Crake at Lower Moors, which performed nicely alongside the path. Later on, a first-winter
Citrine Wagtail was found at Salakee Farm and we connected with this in the end too as it creeped about a cattle field. Watching a fine male
Hawfinch opposite the riding stables in the evening was a fine way to end the day. Other highlights today included two
Yellow-browed Warblers, two
Pink-footed Geese, two
Bramblings, two
Merlins, three
Peregrines, a
Greenshank, a few
Snipe, a couple of
Water Rails, an adult
Mediterranean Gull, a flock of 16
Stock Doves, a
Cetti's Warbler, five
Swallows, three
Wheatears, three
Siskins and hundreds of
Redwings and
Fieldfares.
