late evening update

Old Moor: Little Egret, 2 Marsh Harriers 'blogging' over Bolton (male + 'cream crown'), Garganey, 2 Greenshank, Black-tailed Godwit.

The Caspian Gull was still at Royd Moor late afternoon, however, by the time I showed up most of the large gulls had dispersed and extensive searching produced nothing better than a couple of nice pints of John Smiths in The Fountain. Birding can be tough sometimes!

Meanwhile, a couple of cute looking Little Owls were showing near Stocksbridge, proving that there are still some left despite the species taking a knock-back in the recent harsh winters. Photos - Ron Marshall
