Stover lake.

A couple of weeks ago I made a visit to Stover Lake in Devon, hoping to see the Great Crested Grebes performing their weed dance,no luck with that but happy to see the usual species showing well including a few more for my Cormorants in Willow collection.Also photograped Tufted Duck,Great Crested Grebe, Mandarin,Mute Swan, Coot, Wigeon,Mallard and Black Headed Gull. A bit dull and damp but still a good day out.

A day on the Exe estuary.

A sunny day around the Exe estuary in Devon, the usual selection of bird species seen with Brent Geese being my main target.There were plenty around Starcross and Exminster marsh and a immature Spoonbill graced Bowling Green Marsh, as well as a nice pair of Shoveler at Dawlish Warren.

A few garden birds.

I think my 'happy place'is just sitting in my shed/hide and watching the birds coming and going to my feeding station and small pool. I dont ever expect to see anything unuasual( the best so far being a Redpoll ) but you never know what might turn up. Here is a few of our recent visitors. Starling,Blue Tit,Robin,Nuthatch,Chaffinch,Siskin,Marsh Tit,Coal Tit, Great Tit and Blackbird.
