The Ancholme Valley, Saturday 24th August 2024

An afternoon wander before picking Tracey up from work along the relatively new Ancholme Way between Brigg and Broughton Bridge and back saw a few nice birds being seen.

The best of the sightings went to species from the world of raptors, which included 2 Hobby and a lovely Merlin, the latter my second of the autumn already, after a fairly early bird seen back in July on the local patch.

Other bits included 9 Common Buzzards, a Kingfisher & a couple of Lesser Whitethroats, with a lovely Hawthorn Shieldbug found while sheltering from a passing shower. 

An enjoyable few hours walking along this easy pathway.
