20 Whoopers on Castle Howard Lake this morning, most of them fresh in at 0910hrs. You'd think after flying all that way together that they would get on fine and chill!. Next stop Norfolk, no doubt. 50 sp. @birdtrack.bsky.social @yorkbirding.bsky.social

My first autumn record of a female Goldeneye at Castle Howard Great Lake this morning, 10 days ahead of the first in 2025. Others, 6 Whoopers on the lake, 22 Wigeon fresh in, 14 Shoveler, Green Sand lingering, 2 GWE's, and 164 Teal - high number due to low water elsewhere @yorkbirding.bsky.social
