Distant shit of Snow Geese among a flock of Greylags
Quite the #YorkshireBirding week.
Smew among 55 species at #TophillLow on Monday, Scaup at #NorthCaveWetlands - 60 species, but missed the Twite!
Work in Leeds on Thursday, so called into #RSPBStAidans (saw a Bittern) before my 3rd lifer of the year with Snow Goose on the River Hull en route home.

A male Eurasian Kestrel sits on top of a grey post which is covered in green and yellow moss and lichen. He is facing the camera and his feathers are slightly puffed up too keep him warm while he rests.
Had a lovely walk around my local reserve this morning where this gorgeous chap decided to pose for a while. It would have been rude not to take his photo as he sat so patiently watching me, watch him.
