Lodmoor, Glossy Ibis, and my bad luck continues!
Good heavens, someone actually uses this term! :-O
John
I only use because i think it sounds so sexy!8-P
Anyways, back to today when my horrendous bad luck really hit home.:C
I was concentrating on an area where i had noticed a Bittern fly into with the hope that it may again pop out for some flight shots. I noticed a chap about 50 metres along the path busily shooting at something, and with some sexy Bearded Reedlings pinging, thought they were the centre of his attention. Alas, the news when i caught him up was earth shattering...
He had only had a Glossy Ibis fly through, and right in my line of sight, and a lifer for me, and he also had the photo to prove it!!!:eek!:
Now im not a violent man. But if this luck continues, i may just kill something, anything, even pull the legs off an earwig:C
Anyways, we decided to head in the direction to where it had flew, hoping that it landed in the vicinity of the Northern Reed bed, which can be viewed from the fields adjacent lodmoor.
Unfortunately, we never re-located it. I have a strong feeling though, that its still in the area, and may be using Lodmoor for roosting, so keep them peeled.:t:
A quiter day today, with much the same. Lapwing numbers have risen, but no Goldies among them.
Some lovely pics of a female Marsh Harrier were taken, but remain on the card unedited.
So, Bittern, a couple of Little Egrets, 3 Med Gulls, 3 SEXY Bearded Reedlings, Marsh Harrier, Raven, and a few Blackwits were the highlights.:t:
