It was good to see that a pair of Cattle Egrets were back in Owl Copse and showing all the signs of breeding.
In the rife below a Coot was busy feeding six very young chicks.
...together with a Little Grebe nearby.
A pair of Swans were getting to know each other.
The resident Buzzard on the usual post
A flock of 15 Whimbrel flew from the harbour towards the Honer fields.
In the late afternoon I paid a third visit to the Honer reservoir to try and obtain a better photograph of the Ring-Billed Duck but during the time I was watching he raised his head for just three seconds and could not have been further away on the opposite bank.!
The highlight was the sudden appearance of a Little Ringed Plover that dropped in out of the sky and landed on the far bank...hence a very heavily cropped photo .
A Whimbrel just below the sluice gate...one of a pair.
...and finally a blackbird with the moon as a backdrop
