Saturday 8th October
It was pretty quiet this morning with little obvious sign of migration, just 3 Skylarks east. Compared to the last couple of weeks we struggled for ducks with just 3 Gadwall, on Fingers, along with the usual Mallards.
When we reached the Canoe Slalom things brightened up a little with a single Grey Wagtail in residence.
Grey Wagtail
A Kingfisher flew in and perched up on the concrete side of the canoe slalom but didn't hang around for long. Then as I stalked the Grey Wagtail for a better shot a Kestrel flew over flushing it further along. It was then flushed by a couple of dogs going by.
The following images are from previous visits.
Wood Pigeon
This Wood Pigeon was perched up nicely on an Alder branch in the Crescent producing a pleasing portrait.
Snipe
This Snipe was on the edge of the island on the big lake on 100 Acre. Unfortunately it didn't sit tight so I only managed this long distance shot.
Grey Heron
This amused me and brought to mind the phrase "Like shooting fish in a barrel"!
And finally a lovely sunrise photo over East Fingers. I could have done with being a few minutes earlier to catch the best lighting conditions but this one wasn't too bad.
