Europe?


Well, not quite Europe, but the final countdown anyway! 


Here goes: 5 Goosander, Short-eared Owl (still this eve.), 92+ Arctic Terns north, 4 Common Terns, 13+ Little Gulls, first-summer Med’ Gull (Mere this eve.), 3 Dunlin, 2 Whimbrel (this eve.), Bar-tailed Godwit (left late aft.), 2 Sanderling (1 still Mere this eve.), 2 Yellow Wagtails, White Wag.

A quick call at Elsecar about 5pm yielded 34 Arctic Terns and 3 Common Terns.

And that just  about summarizes what has been a fantastic day. More rain tomorrow apparently!

Nearly as impressive as Underbank Reservoir.
