Holme Bird Observatory
for as little as 14p per day.
4th June 2023
A lovely sunny day at the Obs with the NE wind persisting. A Great White Egret was seen but no Spoonbill today. Two Little Ringed Plovers were in the now not so flooded fields on the way to Thornham with good numbers of House Martin seen. Still quite a few Lesser Whitethroat dotted around the place. A couple of Gannets on the sea plus two Eider and 3 Little Terns.
