We had eaten lots on the coach|<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />|The captive birds were fairly easy to photograph, a few below. The bird feeder was from a hide. We had a brilliant day, saw lots of birds, including, Knott, Spotted Redshank, Golden Plover, Lapwings.A Buzzard, ( being constantly buzzed by a single Lapwing, who was taking great exception to it sitting in a tree, the buzzard took no notice |=)|Peregrine, (that one set all the estuary birds up)Hundreds of ducks, Widgeon, Teal & Pochard. Pintail on Swan Lake, but I don't know if they were wild ones.Moorhens & Coot everywhere.Curlew, Dunlin, Redshank, Oystercatchers & others not identified, by us anyway.Little birds were most of the garden birds, plus Reed Bunting.A very satifying birding day, dispite no rarities & the absence of most of the wild swans. We came home a tired but happy crowd|=)|I'll post some more later.</blockquote>
