Eccup Challange
Posted 18-06-10 at 05:23 PM by amanda
Had a few hours this morning so went to Eccup,the weather was not great and in the end I did get rained off.
Managed to find a spot were you can get down to the waters edge
The Geese numbers seem to be back up,after the cule last year, with pleanty of Cannada Geese,Graylag and White Geese.There was four Herons lining the bank and I saw one Comorant (they are always at the other side of the lake no matter which side I go to
)There was up to six Great crested Grebe that I could see but no young,and Red Kites flying round.
New for the list were....
Common Tern.
Swans.
Oystercatcher.
Shelduck.(still need to I.D photo)
There was also Swifts feeding of the lake.

Thanks Ruth,on the Forum they think it is a Shelduck,but it is the last bird i expected to see there after seeing so many at the sea side in Wales,will have to look for it again,so I feel happy about seeing it...Posted 22-06-10 at 08:02 PM by amanda
