Best bird of the DAY? (1 Viewer)

A walk along the beach in East Sussex gave me my 'best bird of the Day' - a Great Crested Grebe in full courting plumage diving just offshore - bit of a surprise - only seen them on fresh water before.

2 Eiders at Strunjan saltpans (they're quite rare in Slovenia)
and
3 Arctic Loons in breeding plumage at Sečovlje saltpans

I had to choose two species because both were so nice to see!

Short-eared owl yesterday at Burton Marsh on the Wirral - it flew right over our heads and then landed about 20 feet from our car. Stunning!

Best Bird

Best bird of each day - a dipper flying along the river as I walk to the railway station each morning. Think it's going to nest there.
