Raggalds Flood/ Old Guy Rd

The Flood, water lowering

2 Drake Mallard

Old Guy Rd Wheatears

An early morning check on the Raggalds flood found 2 drake Mallards only but then a call from NK reporting a fall of Wheatear in fields off Old Guy Rd, see Nigels blog, got me dashing round there at lunch time to find 6 male and 1 female in one field. A few distant snaps taken then back loaded with big camera at 1900hrs to find them moved on and just 1 very distant male.
A single Swallow landed briefly on the overhead wires before moving off towards Roper Lane.
Thanks for the call Nigel.
