Reed Warbler and Whitethroat takes me...

St Aidan's RSPB
First visit to this highly recommended reserve just south of Leeds. A place to spend many hours and a lot of walking involved but birds, excellent birds, everywhere. On arrival, a pair of showy Little Owls on the wooden pallets next to the very impressively large coal grabber next to the car park. O...

However, a thorough searching of many muddy puddles and wet fields on the mosses drew a blank on waders, apart from a solitary Redshank on the compound flood on the Finney. The male White Wagtail was s...
