Filey Dams - 30th July 2020

Grey Heron with Breakfast!

In an attempt to return to "normality", (whatever that is now?), I suggested a visit to Filey Dams. A change of scenery was desperately needed and the Dams fitted the bill! The last time I was in a hide was on 18th February 2020 (at Filey Dams), so an early morning visit was planned to avoid any crowds. The weather forecast was due to be good so of course, it was raining, very dull and cold! Where is this promised heat wave? Very quiet at the Dams, both human and wildlife but year ticks of Dabchick and Reed Warbler were had. The only waders were three Dunlin and a couple of flyover Lapwings. Light conditions were challenging as can be seen by the following images!
