Spoonbills at Coatham Marsh
I had a very brief encounter with a family of four Spoonbills that I caught up with at Coatham Marsh TVWT on Friday evening. I arrived on site at 18.11 and was alerted to them very quickly in flight. They circled for a short while and kept dropping down into the pools before being spooked by a train and flying strongly north at 18.19.

Ring-billed Gull, Mirfield
Not quite a Slaty-backed or Glaucous-winged I know...
I had a little trip down to Sands Lane GP in Mirfield, west Yorkshire for the long staying RBG that has been present since November and also overwintered last year. Lots of Common, Black-headed and one Lesser Black-backed present plus 14 Goosanders and other wildfowl.

LEO
Long-eared Owl. Worth a snowy Sunday trek? Oh yeah!
Especially when there were FIVE of them! Also Bramling, Siskin, Waxwings, Fieldfares and Woodcocks as supporting cast.

Heronistic Northumberland
A morning well spent with Morpeth's finest on the River Wansbeck: Squacco Heron
... and the afternoon getting boggy in Alnwick with a Great White Egret:
Who needs Cornwall with Green Heron and American Bittern, eh? Good to bump into PC wanderings and Foghorn who was back for seconds. Also Stef McElwee and Shaun . Good banter all day made up for the somewhat wet feet!

Wax on Wax off
I got a little impatient waiting for some local Waxwings the other weekend so after a productive trip up to Sleddale with my daughter, we took a circular route back to Thirsk via Kirkbymoorside where some waxwings had been reported on Birdguides. Add a little sunshine into the mix and here are the results:
More seem to be appearing closer now with reports in Middlesbrough and Strensall today.
