A morning walk around Hessle Foreshore in good weather produced the expected birds. Great Spotted Woodpeckers were audible in the country park as were the Bullfinches which were back and forth at the feeding station. I took the chance to photograph some of the commoner but perhaps more under-rated residents.

The foreshore itself produced a pair of Shelduck as well as Redshank and Curlew which were particularly confiding at the inlet. The thick mud at the inlet was evident as covered any evidence of the red shanks and the Curlew sank into the mud.

The field between Hessle and North Ferriby which I have called the Buzzard field lived up to its name as two took to the air as we approached. This pair seem to be sharing territory with a pair of Carrion Crows which looked to be a fairly tempestuous relationship when we were there!
