Shoveler

Just sat there , totally alone. A bit like me that day.

Wheatear

Probably one of my all time favourite birds the Wheatear .Always stands proud and looks you straight in the eye . A little cracker

Mute Swan

Flying around all week was this bent necked swan. Anyone any ideas ?

Swallow

This one nearly left it too late for a second brood but they were away last week.

SparrowHawk

Nearly missed this one as he came out of absolutely nowhere

sparrowHawk

Osprey and Peregrine

A couple of raptor pictures that were unfortunately quite a lon gway off but not too bad a record shot

Pintail

Pintail dropped in for a brush up and left a few minutes later to cheer up a pretty barren day

Med Gull

Probably the best views we have ever had of the Mediterranean Gull and obliged us with a couple of pictures

Meadow Pipit

There were great numbers of Meadow Pipits during the week on migration and a few stopped in on the way for a brush and clean up plus a little bit of sustinence .

Lizard

Common Lizard warming itself in the mid-day sun. There was a little one but it was hiding under the bark

Little Bunting

Probably the best bird of the week for us was this Little Bunting caught and ringed ar the Warren . It wasnt quite as pleased to see us as we were to see it.
