A Brief Look At Priors

 I didn't get out until late afternoon today  and only managed to squeeze out a couple of hours at Priors Hall. Cloudy skies gradually gave way to some sunshine though a breeze insured that it remained rather cool. Initially I'd hoped to catch up with some insects but the weather put paid to those ambitions and instead I concentrated at looking for birds.

Yellow-legged Gull

The Great Crested Grebes remain on the quarry lake where Sand Martins continue to thrive. A walk around the ponds produced a sighting of Sparrowhawk which had the local tits calling in alarm. There was a Reed Warbler singing at one of the ponds while a vocal Little Ringed Plover passed over. On my return walk past the quarry lake an adult Yellow-legged Gull was noted and that was it as far as interesting wildlife sightings went.

Happy Easter!
