Went for 2nd helpings of the Great Grey Shrike at Fillingham this morning. Lots of great views of it hunting. It caught 2 voles in quick succession and cached these. @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirding

Fingers crossed that the River Don doesn't breach as it's looking very high - these sheep are not taking any chances

Murky visit to North Duffield Carrs this morning. Lots of White-fronted Geese - 2 skeins flew over which had gone into a field close by blending in with the Pink-footed Geese plus more viewed from the hides. Had just missed the Slavonian Grebe but did see the Greater Scaup. @ldvnnr.bsky.social

Quick visit to Slaynes Lane, Misson yesterday morning. Lots of ducks including one of my favourites - Pintails.
Bar-headed Goose (perhaps the one that was at North Cave Wetlands) didn't wake up whilst I was there.
