14/09/2020 David Slack Probable Goshawk 1 Circa 2.30pm. Large robust raptor flew in from west at Goole Tram, dark brown upper, light brown mottled underside (not barred), white patch to rear underside. Silhouette as large Sparrowhawk, distinct long slim tail contrasted by robust body, smallish head, broad rounded wing tips. Hunted along tree line west-east then north-south at about 20ft, short powerful wing beats then repeated sharp upward soaring (no wing flaps) returning to straight flight. Returned north along top of tree line joining similar bird, slightly darker on northern tree line, where they continued to hunt and soar. Even at this distance distinct large size with tail feature, wings broad not pointed and no barred chest. Had a potential Goshawk at east end of Blackwater 3 weeks ago but couldn’t confirm as viewing limited unlike above.

26/03/2020 Bryan Wainwright Garden News: (since not able to go birding (or work) on moors now unless on foot; I live 1 km away from Thorne Moors) Redstart 1♀ garden (which backs onto horse meadows), an early record but definitely not Black, seen very close (10 m with binoculars catching flies in open for 2 minutes before going round side of horse stables out of sight. Note; Redstarts were already back in Derbyshire before my sighting). Weasel 1 in garden ran round pond then under fence other side. Both garden ticks, only lived here 18 months.

The Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve comprises the two close but separate areas, Thorne Moors and Hatfield Moors. Thorne Moors (which is often defined to mean Thorne and the smaller contiguous moors of Goole, Snaith & Cowick, Crowle, and Rawcliffe together, as in this blog). Parts of these Moors lie in three counties, South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
