Around Scalby Mills and Open Air Theatre - 18th October 2018

Grey Wagtail

Having dropped Heather off at Scarborough Market I headed down to Scalby Mills to walk Symphony. Our route took in Scalby Mills, Open Air Theatre and a circuit of the lake in Peasholm Park. A very pleasant walk in autumnal sunshine. A Grey Wagtail flitted around Scalby Beck with another (above) on the Sea Life Centre.



Walking towards the Open Air Theatre two Roe Deer appeared



A Water Rail was spotted from the railway bridge at the back of the open air theatre but it was too dark to gain an image. The walk around Peasholm Park did little to excite me, other than nearly being dragged up a tree when Symphony chased after a Squirrel!

Back at Scalby Mills several Rock Pipits were seen



The eclipse Eider made an appearance but kept its distance
