Big Waters

Headed off to Big Waters on a couple of occasions this week for a few hours.   Plenty of things to see including an early morning view of a Little Egret on Saturday morning which popped in for a few secs then was hassled by a Grey Heron and was off like a shot.  Also 4 Goosander paid a quick visit as well and only had a 2-3min "plodge" before heading off South West.  Still a couple of Sedge Warblers and plenty of Willow Warblers around and an unusual drop-in of a Jay to the Feeding Station.  Heres a few pics from the week:
Just having a light snack before Lunch

Gorgeous Blue Tit jumping about all over the place
Yet another Common Darter - they are the only ones that seem to stay still long enough
Saturday Morning - Bootiful
Kingfisher makin g an appearance
On Wednesday and Friday evening ventured to St Marys to see the Greenish Warbler but failed miserably.  Fortunately I managed to see a Spotted Flycatcher.

John, you have some super pics here

I especially like the one of the sunrise. It would make a great book cover for a supernatural novel. :)
