I found a couple of Bearded Tits in Hornsea Mere first field reedbed this morning. They don't seem to come through this far along the south side very often, preferring the larger reedbeds to the west of the Mere. Maybe they were migrants just passing through?

Common Darters are still to be seen around the Mere in sunny, sheltered places.

There were plenty of Reed Buntings around the set aside this morning, probably 20+ but difficult to count when they move about so much.
The Barnacle Goose herd was at 128 this morning, nicely spread out and easy to count.

The fields and footpaths are at last becoming softer as the rain begins to ease the harsh, dry soil. We need a heck of a lot more though as the field drains are still dry, and the Mere water level is very low for this time of year.
It was a lovely calm and sunny morning and just perfect for meandering through the fields and wood, with no where to go and no one to see I really enjoyed my walk this morning 🙂
