On the 19th of March I had a busy day, in the morning I was helping plant trees with the local Wildlife explorers group, then in the afternoon I was helping at Hull Science Festival and then swimming in a swimming gala that evening. On the way to Tophill I was incredibly surprised to see a
Glossy Ibis flying NE over Langtoft, East Yorkshire! At Tophill we saw the usual birds, such as
Black-headed gulls and a nice pair of
Mistle thrushes. The Science festival was very busy and the gala went well with our team finishing 2nd out of 4. Below are the pictures from the 19th then the 20th is below them.

Today, the 20th, Dad and I went to the coastal part of the patch. There was a steady passage of gulls. This resulted in one of two patch ticks of the day, two
Lesser black-backed gulls. We then saw a
Tree Sparrow. I tried to get a scope onto the Filey
Surf scoter but didn't manage to see it (obviously).
