First Blog of the Year (Local Areas)

First Blog of the Year (Local Areas)

Scarborough (ish)

First blog of the year sees me writing the same full of cold and inside at home on a sunny day, which is not great when your a restless sort of a person.

With lots of company at home for the Xmas and New Year period, getting out and about was a little problem, but a few wanders round Scarborough Open Air Theatre, The Mere, Seamer Tip Large Ponds and Cockmor Hall at Snainton on the first day back at work provided a good start and selection of birdlife from a variety of Geese, a Water Rail, a Kingfisher and lots of Tits and Finches along with Redwings and Fieldfare, all in all a good start to the year without seeing anything brilliant, but there's plenty of time for that to happen!!!
