I was hoping for terrible weather over the Easter holiday in the hope that we would enjoy decent weather for the Spring/Summer term. of course the exact opposite happened. The weather was so bad for the first session that we had to relocate to Tophill low. This was a good move, as we clocked up 56 species!

On Wednesday morning we went to the brand-new planned location, but there was a very cold wind and we didn't see many birds, well 30 species in total! The afternoon group decamped to Blacktoft Sands, and saw many more birds species -

On Thursday morning we went on a beautiful walk in a Bluebell Wood at North Cliffe Wood. Overcast and drizzle which kept birdsong down, but did hear/see: Willow Warbler, Blackcap (m&f), Marsh Tit, Chiffchaff, Linnet, Red-legged Partridge, GS & Green Woodpeckers, Lapwing. plants: Bluebell, Wood Sorrell, Primrose, Greater Stitchwort, Bugle, etc. In the afternoon we stayed at North Cave Wetlands and encountered 56 species. The camera stayed in the car.

On Friday we made our only trip of the year to Swine Moor. It was cool and a little breezy, and there was some drizzle at times.

Jane went to Blacktoft before the classes resumes, so here a few more holiday photos:

Meanwhile during the Easter break I found a flower on a nature reserve. it was in a very damp habitat, so was it a genuine rarity, or had someone planted it illegally?

Fritillary - wild or planted?

Hoping for an improvement in the weather soon, and that we will lose these cold easterly winds. The figures for the first week of the new term were: Tuesday am - 56: Weds am - 30; Weds pm - 50; Thurs am - 28; Thurs pm - 56; Fri am - 46 & Fri pm N/A
