Spot the Spotted.

Going through my photographs last night. I came across this picture of the Spotted sandpiper that was at Abberton last year that i had forgot to post.

Blinging Warbler

Went back to Old Hall marsh again, hoping to catch up with an adult beared tit as the winds were still but no joy. I did however see a party of 5 juvenilles (top picture).
Also in the same area was this Reed Warbler with a ring on his leg. I have sent the little detail that i have off so hopefully find out some history on this birds movements.

Old hall Owl

Decided on a walk round RSPB Old hall marsh on Wednesday. And my first sighting off the day was this Barn owl sat on a fence post. Within seconds he took to the air dived in to the wheat field and came out carrying a mouse. A most memorable moment.

Sleeping Ducks

From layer breton causeway Abberton, this Wood sandpiper could be seen during the last week. It took a while at first to locate him, but once the ducks settled down in the midday sun he could be seen wondering along the muddy margins of the little muddy island that as developed in the recent dry spell.

green means go

At long last some time off from work and a chance to get out with the camera. A stroll round some local pools was a good start to my week of with upto 12 green sandpipers showing on the fresh mud, so fingers crossed for some piece and light and birds for this coming week.
