On a family visit to South Yorkshire I decided to visit to Potteric Carr, a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve not far from Doncaster. It is a fairly big reserve with reed beds, water bodies, woodland and some grassland. I walked around and had a Garganey pointed out to me. There were in excess of 10 Little Egret on the reserve, 6 Green Sandpiper and a juvenile Black Necked Grebe. A few days earlier some Spoonbill and Great White Egrets were also present. A Roe Deer gave excellent views near a viewing screen. The highlight were the butterflies and dragonflies which were out in force on this warm day. Apparently there is a small population of Silver Washed Fritillaries here but I never saw any. Brimstone and Common Blue were the main highlights.
