Firstly, Happy Christmas to one and all!
Today’s weather comprised overcast skies once again, with a blustery easterly wind and a maximum of six degrees C. With a significant arrival in the south of England over the last two days, two Russian White-fronted Geese at Thornwick Lakes weren’t entirely unexpected, but nonetheless very welcome. Passerine records on the outer head included two Redwing, a Grey Wagtail and 32 Yellowhammers.
Sightings from Buckton/Bempton included 250 Pink-footed Geese, 20 Lapwing, a Woodcock, 100 Skylark, three Redwing and 150 Corn Buntings.
