Filey Dams and East Lea - 24th November 2022

 

Whooper Swans

A small errand in Filey gave the opportunity to visit both the Dams and East Lea. It was good to see that water levels have risen considerably since our last visit, but disappointed that the birds were so distant. Thus, only record shots! Prime targets were the White Fronted Geese, but we thought we had dipped, but eventually to track them down just before we needed to leave!
