Black Grouse

Great day in North Wales birding. First off Black Grouse at Worlds End approx 15 seen lekking and moving around the moor later in the day. Then off to Pensarn for perfect conditions for sea watching. Two drake Surf Scoters seen amongst the thousands of Common Scoters one which was close by on the rocks. Also seen were several Red breasted Merganser and two Red throated Divers

Kingfisher and some rarities!

Me and Dave went to  East Yorkshire on Sunday. At Tophill Low we had a brief view of the Purple Heron that's been there for a few days. We also had great views of a pair of Kingfishers.

It was then onto Wykeham where we had brief views of a Honey Buzzard and a couple of Turtle Doves in flight. I also saw a Goshawk briefly. 

We finished off at Filey for good scope views of a Surf Scoter along with a group of Common Scoters. Other species seen included Puffin, Rock Pipit and Sand Martin
