There had been up to 10
Dotterel present on Danby Beacon (North Yorks) for a number of days so the family and I went to see them. It had been a year and five days since we had seen one there. We set off and saw 2 Merlin from the car between Scarborough and Whitby. We got to Danby Beacon and there were 5 female
Dotterel feeding in front of us. Unfortunately they were slightly more distant than last time and they were annoyingly hard to photograph as there was a very strong heat haze. However they still remain my favourite wader. There were also
Curlew,
Red grouse and
Meadow pipits present. We then drove to the ruins of an iron works at Bank Top above Rosedale where there were 5
Golden plover and lots of
Red grouse and
Lapwing.
