Holme Bird Observatory
for as little as 14p per day.
9th November 2026

It was a wind still day with a lot of fog that didn’t lift at all. There weren’t many birds about and the best sightings were 2 Firecrest, 1 in the scrub around the NWT entry gate that was ringed and another one in the scrub next to the NWT car park. 1 Barn Owl was hunting along, and an Otter swam around Broadwater.
