The plan today was meant to be an outing to the Saltholme RSPB site.
We had to be in Darlington first thing anyway. But the weather in the area made it a rather risky trip on the roads with snow already causing problems on the roads first thing, so we opted instead for our more local stop at Staveley and we were rewarded with two more ducks to add to our now growing list!
Goldeneye and Scaup were our new birds with lots of Teal, Wigeon and Tufted Ducks also present. We also got a much better sighting of the Short-eared Owl thanks to our brand new binoculars.
