A warm sunny afternoon at Aldcliffe, but bird-wise it was no great shakes.
A tittering
whimbrel using the marsh was the highlight. A species easy to connect with here during Spring passage, less so in Autumn.
A juvenile plumage sedge warbler was skulking around in some rushes and two green sandpipers were at the Wildfowler's Pools.
Odonata was more in evidence in the Indian Summer weather: Around
20 migrant hawkers were about, including two copulating pairs, a brown hawker and 20-25 common darters (one of which pictured above).
Dan.
