Male with cracking markings

 Amother on the rocks

Its certainly coming on a treat down there , thanks to Graham and his band of workers . Congrats to all

Great Spotted Woodpecker

 Nice to see around .Must have seen the peanuts out

Short-tailed Field Vole

This little fellow was not going to miss out on the free food.Was a little cautious to start with but soon got brave enough to venture out and fill himself

Reed Bunting

First time we have had a Reed Bunting down by the feeding area but a pleasant surprise.

Just a few Flight Shots

Love to get some of these flight shots but they never seem the same as seeing them for real. Flocks circling in their thousands fantastic but in a picture very lacking. Such a shame

Icelandic Gull

 From right out of the blue as we are walking up to the hide a call goes out saying Iceland Gull flying towards Humber  from hide.  Looking to our left we see a gull being harassed by another one.

 Unfortunately by this time it was quite a way off.

 Not to worry at least we saw it and got a record shot
