Five of us covered the Lower Wharfe from Kirkby Wharfe to Ozendyke in the non-motorised Yorkshire Bird Race.
We had 66 species, down from last year’s 74, despite an identical route. No unusual birds, but an Otter gave good views.
All funds raised go to Spurn Bird Observatory - gofund.me/3347fb7c

9 Gannets NW over the Lower Wharfe between Leeds and York. Also 2 Whooper Swans, my first of the autumn.
