Filey Dams - 28th April 2022

 

Drake Garganey

An early morning visit to Filey on yet another dull, cloudy and cold day. I started off at Carr Naze pond where I was able to touch base with the male Ring Ousel and watch a distant Short-eared Owl hunting in the rocket pole field. Unfortunately no images due to light and distance. I then headed down to Filey Dams reserve where I hoped to see the Garganey pair. Eventually they showed to the left of the main hide, mainly in the reeds, but the male did venture into open water for a while.
