You Never See 'Em All - Part IV

 A steady and none too harduous drive to our next location, and hopefully the the second 'rarity', was before daylight the following morning arriving at

still keeping us well within the bounds of Yorkshire.
First to be found at the gateway was this

Ruby Tiger Moth Larva
along with an array of more common birds but some we don't encouter ever or very often on our own patch.

LITTLE EGRET
are recorded from time to time but not so

RUFF
which has never been seen here but with a far better example being seen later in the day!

MARSH HARRIER

(this one quartering the reedbed hunting for breakfast)
also awaits being added to out 'patch list' while

COMMON SNIPE

are frequent visitors

across most seasons.

Then, almost as ordered came our target bird and

very rare vagrant to Western Europe a

WHITE-TAILED PLOVER
(or Lapwing if you prefer)

and breeds in
Iraq, Iran and also Southern Russia.

Another
MARSH HARRIER

Sea Going Vessels

2-way traffic transiting the narrows of the
River Humber

followed by another 'scarcity' for Dorset at least

TREE SPARROW

A splendid display of

 GUELDER ROSE in BERRY

while ending the day with

 the divecity that can be the

RUFF
