May Magic

Kestrel feeding on a lizard.

Pair of Ruff  on the 22nd.

Record shots of one of the Spotted Redshank seen during the month.

May is a great month for birdwatching. With migration in full swing, one never knows what will turn up on the ranges. The highlights for Wildlife Artist Richard Hull and myself this month included. First ever Woodlark on the 20th. And on the last day of the month a cracking drake Garganey was on the Geedons scrape.

Heard before spotted.

The very distinctive call of this Spotted Redshank alearted me of its present at the pools on Saturday. The final tally was 4 Spotties in total on the ranges for the day a pleasing result.
