That was the week that was!!

Well what a week, with a few mega mind blowing sightings around the county it was a bit of a job to catch up with it all. phone call on Thursday, had me trawling around the Muckleton area looking for the ever elusive Common cranes, which I might add were not found.
That evening at Mire lake it was good to see the Gargany and Little gulls in the rain and near darkness.
A return trip the next evening produced the Ring necked duck, but the Arctic tern had left, an hour or so and in conversation with Andy at the time the darn Crane appeared flying north toward the Muckleton area, Whoohooo! and I knock off another one for the year. No picture this year though.

Three of six Little gulls at the mire lake

The Female Ring necked duck and Gargany

The return of the Lesser Whitethroat at VP has been a topper to the week.

With the sun on my back and the song from the hedge being buoyant it was good to be there.

The last couple of the Little gulls, mind you there are loads more, just saving you getting bored!!!

Cheers
