Nesting Nuthatch

A pair of Nuthatches are nesting in their usual tree in the local copse. I always just like to sit and watch them go about their lives.

Little Ringed Plover & Grey Plover

1st May 2018.

Davidstow airfield ( Cornwall) usually turns up one or two waders passing through in the spring, on driving  around the runways I was pleased to find this Little Ringed Plover feeding beside a pool, this is not a common bird in this part of the country and this was the best views I've had of one. I was pleased to get some photos from the car, resting my lens on a beanbag. After a while it was joined by a Grey Plover which came very close allowing for some nice shots, pity it was a bit rainy but that's quite normal for this site.
