15.04.24 The bird I was watching for in the hide a Lamsley was unfortunately a no show while I was there however there were other birds coming and going so I thought I would get some flight shots. As you will be able to see from this Blog, I didn’t know which ones to leave out so there are quite a few of them.
Oystercatcher.
Shelduck.
Greylag Goose.
Cormorant.
Sand Martin.
Swallow.
Gadwall.
14.04.24 I think this must be one of the most photographed pair of Little Owls on the Durham Moors, they certainly seem to be everyone’s favourite at the moment (and I couldn’t resist). One of them showed well while I was there but its partner was a little more reluctant. Oh, and just to be on the safe side, I was using the car as a hide and nothing was used to bring the Owl to me.

I did however manage to get them both together.
And one of them posed nicely for me.
14.04.24 It wasn’t only Redpolls and Siskin that were using the small pool up on the Durham Moors to get a drink, Crossbills were also using it.
