Staveley NR, a great one for the list

We went to Staveley NR, near Knaresborough on Sunday. Contrast the shot below with the ones from August last year.

Lots of the people we met were very chuffed to have seen the Pacific diver at Farnham but we were in the area for Barn owl to add to my list. While we waited 'til dusk we watched Yellowhammer, Water rail and Pochard.

We also saw Tufted ducks and a Sparrowhawk. Caro took this shot of Reed bunting using the "digiscope method".

Just before sunset, a ghostly white bird began to quarter the area in front of the hide and we could go home happy.

Spectacular sunset at Staveley NR with geese.
