Liz and I could not decide if it were a heron, kingfisher, egret, duck....
My next shot was definitely an egret though!
Then we came upon a redshank...
We spotted a grebe like bird - and deduced it was a little grebe!
Though it was so far, it was hard to tell without bins!
A sparrow sized bird making a distinctively unsparrowlike sound - turned out to be a reed bunting and it stayed put long enough for me to get a few photos.
We also saw a meadow pipit, but I was not quick enough to capture it on camera. We saw a bankful of lapwing, a godwit, 3 different types of seagull, a golden plover...an enjoyable birdful day out!
My final photo for today is of a blackbird eating the berries on the prickly tree outside the kitchen window one morning Mid-December

is the link to a meditative video of a starling murmuration.
I love that shot of the Reed Bunting on the bush with the hill in the background.
ReplyDeleteyes, finally one of my shot turned out properly....
