I had a whistle stop trip to York and stayed in Cawood Park Caravan Site. I had a few short periods where I was free to photograph wildlife and remembered that this location was species rich. These were some of the birds I saw over a 40 minute period, early on Friday morning.

A pair of these were grazing behind the British Waterways building.

#6 As I watched, this Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba) stalked across the grass trying to alarm and catch insects in it's path.

Hope you like these.
