Trittiford mill pond and the dingles bird sightings (2 Viewers)

Very quiet at Trittiford but Mandarin still present
3 Little Egrets at Old Mill Pool/Bamptoms pool.
Hi Donna, I found the Female Mandarin on Trittiford this morning! There were a few Pochard present as well. I then ran along the River Cole and there were several Little Egrets along the way. I lost count! Lol. There were three together with a Kingfisher at almost the same location where I saw them almost one year ago! I've got a photo of them from last year as well and had to laugh three were in the same spot. The Kingfisher was calling along the river. Great to hear it!
Hi both
Just came back from Shirley via Trittiford. Saw at least 3 pairs of pochard and a pair of grey lag geese on the island. No egrets today.
Jealous of the kingfisher sighting
Take care all!!!! There is a very large tree blocking the path the opposite end of the pond to the Dingles. It is about 10 yards in on the path over the blocked road with the ford. It is impassable for bikes and walkers unless you have wellies as there is a reed bed next to the path. Use the path on the opposite side of the river.

What a Larophile education Swanshurst has turned out to be. :t:
Trittiford today
Hi all,
2 great crested grebes
Pair pochard
On the way:
2 grey heron
2 jay
And......the best sighting of a kingfisher I have every seen. It was perched on a thin branch over the section which looks man made, just before the bridge with the sluce gate. It then flew low across infront of us and down the adjacent river amazing sight!
Up date on me I think I really have the bug - I now own a Birder's Journal and pair of binoculars - both waterproof which was handy today!!!
