Far-Ings NNR....

A visit to my old patch at Barton today didn't exactly inspire,but a couple of decent sightings were recorded,the best of which was a single Common Buzzard watched being mobbed by a pair of Carrion Crows as it perched in the Blow wells,it then decided it had,had enough of this unwanted attention and headed for the Wolds.The other sighting of note was the superb male Smew watched swimming about on the Outdoor pursuit lake on his own,iam hoping he is still in situ for the big new years day bird count tomorrow so watch this space.Not too bad,but i am hoping for better tomorrow!
