Black-tailed Godwit in glorious brick red summer plumage It has been some time since my last confession. My spare time is now largely taken up by manning a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust stall recruiting new members and providing information to visitors at North Cave Wetlands. The new Dryham Ings side of the reserve is already showing promise with 30 Yellow Wagtails on there today with the Pied Wagtails - we had a blue headed "Channel" Wagtail last week. Ringed and Little Ringed Plovers are currently on Dryham Ings and the Avocets too are showing interest in the new side of the reserve. This means that the new super large straw built Crosslands hide is currently an interesting place to be and when the reserve stretches even further westwards it is going to be fantastic. Pictures here are all distant and not great, but I had time for a walk around the reserve today. Spring is late but the Hirundines are coming in and Willow Warblers now starting to sing. More birds, butterflies and dragonflies still to look forward to.
