Burton Riggs (YWT), Scarborough - 21st August 2023


 My car needed some attention at KIA this morning, giving me the opportunity to have a slow wander through the YWT reserve of Burton Riggs. When I visit, I always think about the potential this reserve has, but wildlife seems a tad sparse! Common wildfowl and passerines are the norm! Best bird was a Kingfisher.
