Filey Dams - 26th June 2023

 

An early morning visit to Filey Dams on a bright morning but a cold wind blowing into the hides. We had hoped that the Spoonbill that arrived late last evening would still be present, but, alas, it was not. Oh well, Avocets it is then! It is so pleasing to see that the Avocets bred, laid four eggs and now have four chicks. Fingers were crossed that the water levels would remain low and that predation would be avoided. So far, so good!

Thank you for looking.

    Thank you. I think the Spoonbill came in to rest / feed before moving on
