Scarborough -28th March 2019

Mute Swan - Peasholm Park

My regular walk in the Scarborough area started at the harbour which was rather quiet, save a few Turnstone. Johnsons Marsh fared a little better with two Shelduck, two Grey Herons and six Teal. Scalby Mills had two Grey Wagtails on the beck and half a dozen Wigeon. The open air theatre had two Lesser Black Backed Gulls, two Tufted Ducks and at least three singing Chiffchaffs. Peasholm Park had the expected waterfowl and gulls but little to excite me! Seamer Tip Pool was also quiet with Mute Swans, Tufted Ducks, Mallards, Grey Lag Geese, Herring Gulls and Moorhens. Overhead was a single Buzzard.
