Heather and I had gone to stay at Cave Castle Hotel for Heather's annual yoga retreat. I always use it as an opportunity to go birding at North Cave Wetlands as it is only just up the road. This year I was joined by my regular birding companion, Brian, who had driven up from home in Keelby.
Fortified by a cup of coffee we set off for a circuit of the reserve. We were hoping for brambling at the maize field feeders, but, although, there was plenty of activity, we saw no bramblings. Apparently there was only one male and one female and they didn't show for us. We continued on our circuit taking in two new hides and the north end of the reseve as anoyher gravel pit has been worked out and is being rewilded. Highlights of the day were redwing, tree sparrow, siskin, goldeneye and six red kites in the air together.
