Mallard photos taken 11 march, rest taken today. Think last photo was of 2 Sandpiper birds feeding for ages and then flying away.
Hi dolce
these are a little egret, little egret, wagtail, willow warbler and not sure (a juv starling?but seems early...) the brown birds on shore are likely to be something like linnets, who often forage seeds and stuff washed up on the tideline...
They're nesting at last (Blue Tits) In my home made box (3 year old) that I nailed to the top of my 6 foot garden wall, I heard the hatchlings and waited, peering through the bushes that have grown over and around the box (most probably why they feel safe enough to nest) and then a young enough looking Blue Tit landed on a nearby twig, popped in fed and then out again - Wonderful !
