Fifteen OFOers met me at Lynde Shores with the temperature hovering at 1 degree C this morning. It soon warmed up and we enjoyed a great day travelling between Cranberry Marsh, the foot of Hall’s Road, Whitby Harbour and Thickson's Woods. A total of 81 species was found. Highlights included:
Eurasian Wigeon, Little Gull (2) with about 3000 Bonaparte’s Gulls, Great Egret, Peregrine Falcon, 6 species of swallow, Pine Warbler, Red-necked and Horned Grebes, 3 Iceland Gulls, and Common & Caspian Terns. Thanks to all who braved the chilly start and helped us all find these great birds. All data was entered in eBird.
