Edderthorpe, Mon to Fri
Some pretty impressive numbers of wildfowl the last couple of days at dawn, despite the shooting (killing) season opening;- Canada Goose 864 (probably a record count for the site), Mallard 820 and Shoveler went from 215 at the end of August to a record breaking 263 on Friday 4th September. There are still 3 Garganey present. Little Egrets were noted roosting in the riverside trees for the first time this autumn on Thursday night/Friday morning, 4 birds were present. Many of the waders have now moved on after the water levels have risen but there are still;- up to 6 Ruff, 2 Greenshank, 1 Redshank and 4 Dunlin with a few Common Snipe and plenty of Lapwings. Lesser Black-backed Gulls have been far more numerous with up to 57 roosting overnight. At least 4 Yellow Wagtails are feeding around the Flash shore.

Carlton Marsh
Today's highlights were Little Egret, Kingfisher 2, Meadow Pipit 2, Grey Wagtail, Canada Goose 11 and male and female Tawny Owl calling at dusk.
A Barn Owl was hunting the Western Meadow from 19.35hrs.
A pair of Little Owls have bred, on or near an old lorry chassis in a stone recycling yard nearby for at least 5 years, including this year. However, after massive reorganisation of the piles of stone, to make more room, it looked as though they had gone. No, they are still there, so maybe we can keep watching them for another 5 years.

Edderthorpe Bank Holiday
Loads of wildfowl here over the holiday period, peak counts include;- Greylag Goose 285, Garganey 3 (including 1 drake), Shoveler 215 (the record is 243 on 31st October 2014), Teal 137. However, the shooting season opened today (1st Sept) and it seems the shooters were out this evening so it will be interesting to see how numbers compare in the coming week.
Waders continue to be attracted although in lower numbers after all the recent rain pushed up the water levels and since a juvenile Peregrine has been in daily attendance and terrifying everything. Highlights are, a Little Stint which arrived today and a couple of juvenile Knot which arrived yesterday (Monday) and are still present today. Up to 910 Lapwing, 20 Golden Plover, 5 Ruff, 2 Dunlin, 4 Black-tailed Godwit, 3 Ringed Plover, 4 Greenshank and a Common Sandpiper are also present. At least 7 Common Buzzards were flying as the rain ceased yesterday afternoon.
