From the first hide was a nice Spoonbill and a couple of Green Sandpiper and a snipe. Lots of Redshank with Ruff and a few Spotted Redshank and a Dunlin.
The next hide was where the Spotted Crake was but it was hadn't been seen and ..... wasn't whilst I was there (was at 7pm), still lots of waders. Common & Green Sandpiper, Dunlin, Greenshank, Redshank and Spot Redshank, Lapwing and a rather nice Barn Owl flew in front. No crake buy hey nice. I could have kept birding but I wanted to go to Barton Upon Humber.
St Peter's (601) is now in the care of English Heritage. It has been stripped and heavily excavated but has a fine Saxon Tower and features.
St Mary (602) was originally the chapel of wase to St Peter but since 1972 has been the parish church.
I had a brief look around the Waters Edge country oark, the highlight was some Ruddy Duck and the Humber Bridge!
I popped into Far Ings which was a little quiet but had another Ruddy Duck a Greenshank, Redshank and a Bearded Tit for the trip list.
The hotel Queen's Head Nth Kelsey Moor worked out at £56 BB Evening meal and 2 large glasses of wine. That's not bad these days ****. I'll use it next time I'm up.
