A great day out

Hello all, it has been one of those days, brilliant! I decided to go out early this morning and had not driven up the road and my phone went off. I pulled over to answer it and it was Mike. He said that he was going to finish early and as Sue was a way working would I like to go out. We arrange for him to call when he finished and I was going to take him to Bloors Wharf. This is where I was going  anyway.

I carried on  to the Wharf and it was nice and quiet with only dog walkers and a few people chatting.

I walked to the wharf and the birds were a little father out than I had hoped. As I got to the wharf there landing in front of me was a pair of Pied Wagtails. I have not seen these for a while but I had a few in the garden years ago.

 This was a good start to the day. I carried on walking.

 I only think this maybe a Godwit as it doesn't really match anything I have

Out of this world
Jupiter
I would love to show the moon but they are too dim!

The Moon at 2300
That is it for now

This afternoon Mike and I ended up at the RSBP reserve at Motney Hill because hight water was at 1400 and all the birds were out.
I am letting Mike put his up first and I will put mine up tomorrow.
Go for it Mike

  3. It was really a good afternoon, We took a slow wonder out there and just watched the birds.

    I still have not ID that bird as it is not in my book.

    The picture of Jupiter was hard work but it is 400,000,000 miles away.
    More tonight for tomorrow..

    Hows Max Chris
