Started the day at Hatfield Moors, South Yorks for the Rough-legged Buzzard. After couple of hours, good views around mid-day from the west end of Great Gate Wood and then over the South Fields as I headed back towards the car, also a juvenile Peregrine sat in the middle of a field in the sun. Good views of several Corn Bunting and Fieldfare and a few large flocks of Pinkfeet heading West.
Then on to West Halton, North Lincs for the geese. Found the flock easily just North of the village and East of the road. Result - single Taiga Bean and Greenland White-fronts in the large flock of grazing Pinkfeet. Joy!!

Called at Blacktoft Sands RSPB for late roost but only one Barn Owl and 3 Marsh Harriers - was hoping for Hen Harriers and Merlin but you can't win 'em all.
