The first thing I noticed when I headed for the North Wall this morning was the Substantial reduction of the water level in the Breech Pool...there were actually muddy edges for the first time for a very long time.
The first wader was a Greenshank but as I was on the lower path it was not easy to shoot through the reeds...
Second wader of note was this Spotted Redshank...
As I approached the Halsey fields a group of cows were accompanied by Cattle Egrets
Surrounded and avoiding being trod on!
In the Halsey stream a single Common Sandpiper was feeding
As I made my way towards Owl Point a coupler of Spotted Flycatchers were busy doing what they do best...catching flies.
A squirrel appeared on the scene.
Above the big pine Hirundines were gathering and Swallows were trying to alight on the top most branches.
Sand Martins
Swallows
A buzzard suddenly appeared overhead
As I headed towards Owl point I came across another herd of cows and this time a flock of about 30 Yellow Wagtails was in attendance.
...and then a Whinchat
...and finally the back view of a Wheatear on the North wall rocks on my return.
A great morning!!
