SCARLET TANAGER
A long trip up to Northowram in Yorkshire with M Bailey and A Bond in hope of getting nice views and photographs of the 1st winter male Scarlet Tanager . We arrived at 7am and picked a spot in a small cul de sac where the bird had been seen .
But as what usually happens nothing goes to plan and after standing in the cul de sac for over 8 hours all I managed to get on the bird was a flight view of it as it flew between 2 bungalows of the area that it seems to like with berries in the back gardens .
My health is not to good at the moment and I just about stood up till around 2pm when I had to sit down on a wall completely knackererd ................Hope for better days .
The only other bird of note was a fly over Hawfinch .
Thanks Mark .
