Reel birding site?

Late afternoon visit to Old Moor - highlights included Goosander, 2 Common Buzzards, 3 Avocets, 2 Common Sandpipers, Green Sandpiper and 5 Black-tailed Godwits (Field Pool). Meanwhile, sightings in the Brickworks Pond area this morning included Whitethroat and 3 Grasshopper Warblers with a Wheatear nearby  on Wombwell Ings.
