This week we have been watching five
Ring Ouzels. This is an iconic bird in the Yorkshire Dales which is notorious difficult to see. Ring Ouzels are very shy and will quickly disappear as soon as they become aware of your presence.
Pied Flycatchers are back in the Dales, along with
Redstarts,
Whitethroats, and
Reed Warblers.
Avocets are back and on scrapes.
Another highlight was watching an
Osprey fishing on local reservoirs. Ospreys often stay over for a couple of days at several local sites whilst travelling back to breeding grounds in Scotland and the Lake District.
