Moor Monkton/Redhouse 12th Feb

Thanks to Neil and Noel for organising the walk. It was good to see such a healthy turnout of Club members: 24 people came along, it was great to welcome those who were on their first trip. Paul has collated the list of the birds seen which as you can see totals 61 species – a very good total for a morning’s walk in an area which doesn’t include any nature reserves.

The highlight from was one Tundra Bean Goose on the lagoon, which was with the Greylags and there was a single Pink-footed Goose present too. There must have been around 40 Goosanders split between the lagoon and the River Ouse.
