  1. Not very co-operative

    Not very co-operative

    Mostly he had his back to me, just the one picture where he gave me a profile shot. I'd not seen any Redshanks for a few weeks, don't know where they'd been.

    A FOS at last

    For weeks I knew these guys were around as I'd heard them singing... but try as I might, I wasn't able to get a picture. This was the only one I managed and sadly it was rather distant. It was a picture taken of a blob in the hope that it was LOL

    Clinging on

    I spotted some movement in the reeds and had been desperately hoping to get a picture of a Reed Bunting or Sedge Warbler, so was a bit trigger happy! Not till I looked in the playback could I see it was a pretty wee bluey I'd got. Och well.... try again. A bit distant and a lot of movement, so...

    Here you are

    It looks like he's offering his nibble to someone but he wasn't. He timed his arrival for just after I'd put the feed out, think his internal clock works better than the Wood Pigeon's LOL TTTW

    Think this was the only time I saw this Jackdaw in the garden, he had lots of white bits on him - both shoulders and the vent area too. Wonder where he went?

    A Year Tick

    ..... and long awaited!! It's been 4 years since I last saw one (almost to the day as well). I got the news that one was still there when I arrived, but it had sailed off to the far end of the reserve. Kept an eye on the bog bean island in case he came back. With all the raptor excitement, we...

    Raindrops

    Gosh... what a wet morning that was!! Not the best of images perhaps this, but I found it interesting that one of the Jackdaws was so my paler than the other (maybe smaller too). At least they were brave enough to come out in that weather to feed.... the first to the table. TTTW

    It was a bit of a surprise to find this picture in the folder as I didn't think I'd seen a Yellowhammer this year, in fact I'd not seen one since April last year! Interestingly, he's on the same feeder and the same place as that last one, as you can see here...

    Wall Creeper

    .... I wish LOL Another bird we saw in this area where we had our coffee break, was a Magpie, only the second one I'd seen that trip I think. I very, very rarely see them here at home so always a bit of a treat for me to come across one.

    Breakfast

    Breakfast the next morning was a rather lengthy, interrupted affair! I'd decided, to take my camera down with me. Sitting there munching away I noted something land in the water on the far side of the bay and alerted Ann. I thought it had looked a bit 'aukish' which would have been a first for...

    Last of the sunlight

    The other side of the houses from where I took the picture of the wagtail, was a wharf accessed by a board walk. This gull was making the most of the remaining sunlight (it was 9.30 now) and was keeping guard on this boat by the looks of it. We'd had a lovely dinner and it was now time to head...

    Silhouette

    Had the sun in completely the wrong place for this picture, but couldn't do anything about it when these three ladies swam past. I didn't get too many pictures of Eider on that trip. All the males seem to have disappeared completely. I guess they go elsewhere after they've done their breeding job!!

    Loafer

    After lunch we meandered our way across more bridges and causeways right to the top of the chain of islands to Vieholmen. I lost track of Ann for a while, so rather than risk getting lost in this tiny village, it was a great excuse to have a cuppie at a sweet wee cafe (delicious home made cakes...

    Also from the ferry port were these two guys sitting on a rock just off shore. Thanks to the ID forum, I got the Herring Gull aged as a 3rd Calendar Year, which is so nice to know.

    Gulls galore

    Slightly off-shore there were gulls.... loads of them! This was just a few, there was a wee island to the right with an awful lot more of them. As most of you know I struggle with gulls, but there's definitely a Great Black-back here, and probably some juvenile ones too. Think there's some...

    Foraging along the edge of the causeway we found this Redshank. This area seemed to be very popular with waders and gulls as you will see.
