Snow Day - Filey, 18th Jan '24 (pt 2)

As well as the passerines (see last post), there was plenty of other cold weather activity during today's lengthy and very enjoyable session - including a Long-eared Owl roosting nearby, two Woodcocks, a Jack Snipe, five Great Northern Divers along the bayside of the Brigg (the first time this winter they've been so numerous), a Bar-tailed Godwit feeding with Oystercatchers, Golden Plovers pitching down in the fields, and various flyover waders no doubt searching for unfrozen habitat.
(Oh, and a Redwing photo I forgot to put in the last post)
