That rarest of things, an actually sunny day here this winter, and a well-timed date with the old man for a razz around locally. First stop was Troutsdale in the hope of some early season Goshawk action, which was a success, with at least six up and at 'em as the morning wore on:
...then onto Scarborough harbour, via a quick glance off the seafront, where at least eight Harbour Porpoise were close inshore:
... with a Great Northern Diver and a Guillemot kicking around in the harbour:
... and finally onto hte Country Park here in Filey, where high tide encouraged a nice selection of waders onto the marshy grass - lots of Oyatercatchers, a few Redshanks, Knot, Turnstones, a Dunlin, and this smart Bar-tailed Godwit.
