    Waders

All three offer good chances to see waders during migration times. There can be good numbers of waders in the...

    Whitby area

    That's not an area I am familiar with, generally I have just scanned the harbour and estuary area when I have been in Whitby. South Gare at Redcar can be good birding, thats about 30 miles North, the same distance South will get you to Filey, the Dams Nature Reserve can hold good birds and the...

    The bird was so close that at shortest focal length I could only get the head of the bird, it did mean that I captured the nictitaing membrane moving across the eyeball.
