Looking out across the floodlain at North Duffield Carrs, part of the Lower Derwent Valley NNR.
Looking out across the LDV floodplain from the Thorganby viewing platform.
Wheldrake Ings SSSI part of the Lower Derwent Valley NNR, part owned & managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust & Natural England.
The River Ouse fairly high today, seen through the Bailey Bridge - how many of us can remember earlier structures, the rickety jobs by comparison to standards today.
Pleasant run out to various sites in the Lower Derwent Valley earlier today. Decent bird list with good numbers of waterfowl, mixed flocks of Lapwing & Golden Plover, Curlews, excellent views of a Red Kite. Absent were the mass Swan herds - next time perhaps😀 #LDV #FloodplainMeadows #Birds #Rivers
