Day off

Spent the afternoon in the LDV. Thorganby was busy, but an unseen raptor flushed everything shortly after I arrived. Still a lot of ducks and waders around, including 25 Curlew. An unusual female Wigeon seen, with large white head patches - see photo. Three Pink-feet were in a field near the village with Greylags. On to Wheldrake, where the sun came out for a bit. The Iceland Gull from the other day came in at c4pm, but not many other big gulls had come in before I had to head off. A Barn Owl was by the bridge.
