I meant to show these yesterday.
The walk
I parked up and followed the shore line and came across a colony of Mallard and with then was a Lapwing.
Today there where lots of different birds some I had not see before here.
Lapwing |
Curlew |
Again this is the first time I have see one here as the last time it was up by Motney Hill.
Their were some Gulls close in and this one really thought something of him self.
I am good looking |
Muddy Feet |
There was a flock of ducks in large numbers and I now have a fairly good close up of those that I saw the other day.
Still not sure what he is |
Going down |
. Having a good wash
Give me room |
He made quite a splash when he hit the water
oops |
A nose dive into the water
Bathing |
There were a lot dong this
Up by the deep water creep there was another Curlew, again running like no tomorrow. Red Shank's but that is normal for them. Godwit's not seen them there before. A group of Lapwings feeding out quite a way. Mallards and the other ducks with the brown head and green stripe across the eye. Gulls in large numbers.Red Shank |
On the way back this one was right by the wall and I was able to sneak up on him
Well as usual I have to finish with a PS, something Mike forgot to do in his last one, shame on you Mike!

Your duck with the green flash on it's eye is a Teal in eclipse Trev... that is, going from it's summer to winter plumage ... lovey bird ( good eating too ) lol!
Eileen beet me to it Trev I was going to say that the first one is a Teal, the others washing and with the gull are Wigeon
