SPURN - 6th February


Walked along the Humber shore all the way to Welwick Saltmarsh where the obvious highlight was excellent views of the juvenile PALLID HARRIER which flew past me heading east; otherwise it was pretty quiet in the misty conditions apart from 3 Merlins – a first winter female, a first winter male which flew in from the Humber carrying some small wader and an adult female sat on Long Bank.

                Opened the nets at Kew in the afternoon but it was typically quiet catching only 3 House Sparrows, 2 Tree Sparrows, a Blackbird and a Chaffinch.
