One more from yesterday.
118. Pied wagtail
Forgot to bold it in my last post but the hawk was a lifer.
A friend and I decided to head down to a preserve on the coast which had sightings of a couple of rare birds in the past few days. We didn't see too much, but will be heading back tomorrow earlier in the day.

As stated yesterday, my friend and I revisited the coast again today to the same spot we visited yesterday in hopes of finding some new species. Most of the day was a bust, however, with us visiting three locations and only adding two new species at the first site and none at the second. The third site, however, was much more promising and thanks to the help of another birder and his spotting scope we were able to spot some of the species hiding further out to sea.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park followed by Potteric Carr NR today - only one new bird but the mammal list got a nice boost:
Birds:
77. Lesser (Common) Redpoll - Acanthis flammea (cabaret)
Mammals:
3. Stoat - Mustela erminea
4. Brown Rat - Rattus norvegicus
5. Bank Vole - Myodes glareolus
Birds:
77. Lesser (Common) Redpoll - Acanthis flammea (cabaret)
Mammals:
3. Stoat - Mustela erminea
4. Brown Rat - Rattus norvegicus
5. Bank Vole - Myodes glareolus
Had the first chance to go on a walk locally for a couple of days because of a combination of snowfall and tidal surges. I did manage to find one new bird:
83. Eurasian siskin Spinus spinus
Spoke too soon - just received corroboration of my identification of an individual I'd got noted but with the mythical '?' due to less-than-ideal angle of view.
78. Peregrine Falcon - Falco peregrinus
