Lethargy reigns. I've just heard that theres a Marsh Harrier at Ladywalk NR. Ive got an hour and a half of daylight but having not seen the bird at Brandon or indeed the Osprey that was reported there while I was tucking into my Pork pie in the Car Park I've decided my lucks out today and all manner of evil spirits will conspire to prevent me seeing a Marsh Harrier. Its a fancy way of saying I cant be arsed, but I detest that expression so you'll have to put up with long winded version.
Apart from missing the two 'quality' species I enjoyed a decent sort of a day. Adding Reed warbler(145) to the County year list and taking a few photos of Black tailed Godwit and Little ringed Plover in the company of several other like minded citizens. The Grasshopper warbler showed well as did a fly by Cuckoo. As competition increases as more reed bed species come in birds become more showy as they stake their claim for the best breeding sites.
Bob.You've got the same pics as me.What a surprise!!!Mind you your Godwits shots are better than mine.
ReplyDeleteAfter you had gone the Cetti's called out in the bush we had been watching I raced over and took several shots of it in the open for a change.I was so chuffed till I checked the shots to find it was a Whitethroat.Mind you earlier I did get my best shots ever of one.
Cheers Max, Always a pleasure. Missed out today.Red Kite circling low over Nuneaton Railway station and no camera. Might have made the local rag.
