The downs and ups of birding!

A glorious morning....warm, sunny and windless. But...the bad news...the Ringed Plovers nest has been robbed with all 4 eggs gone. No egg shells and no evidence as to the robber. I suspect the local pair of Crows.

A visit to North Wall for some photography proved interesting with a hybrid Scaup/Pochard

A pair of Long Tailed Tits busy in the bushes.

A few Whimbrel in the fields .


A family of Coots feeding some very young fledglings...here is one

Sedge Warblers and numerous Reed Warblers in the reeds...where else!
