A swan glided by...
At the next hide, we were able to spot a heron on the podium, while looking back at the heron family we had seen previously.
I managed to get a really good shot - which is surprising for my camera usually only takes clear photos without zoom.
Well, more than one...
Back to the heron family - 5 teenagers and 2 adults - and the fish making splashes.
I spotted something - and we went closer for a better look. A greater spotted woodpecker - and its nest!
It was feeding young in that hole!!
We spotted a mystery bird - that Liz declared might be a waterrail....though it seemed more like a coot chick to me...
Ah, the podium must be what I saw before. Just like one of those swimming floats that people use.

ReplyDeleteAh, a nesting float for terns. That's cool.
