Time out !!!!

Time is always limited when i have the chance to visit a M.O.D permit only area. So these or just a few sightings from last year although they are not brilliant pictures they are still very memorable moments that i feel are worthy off showing.

Ringed Redshank

Well i was looking and clearing out some files from my computer. And came across this redshank although i have not been able to see the full details on the leg ring .There are very pleasing results. RING DETAILS HOPEFULLY TO FOLLOW.

Slushy with the wigeon.

With the snow starting to melt and a slight rise in tempertures, i took a walk down to the Brickhouse pond on the island. All my hard work walking through the slush was rewarded with the sight of these two wigeon cruising about and with a few minutes of sun light shinning between the very grey skies i captured these few shots.

Winter Waders.

An hours walk along East Mersea beach with my springer spaniel today produced these few waders. Although the sun was bright it was extremely cold. And the kettle was soon boiling once i returned home.
