Venus Pool - obliging Greenshank

Greenshank have been rather scarce this year and other than a trio flying through, this is the first one I've seen on the deck at Venus Pool this year! Obligingly, it chose to land right in front of the hide, feeding, resting and then.....









'regurgitating' the odd pellet (which I caught in graphic detail!) Have you ever wondered what happens to all that undigestible rubbish a wader consumes?









The light was sadly very poor otherwise these would have been stunners - as close as they come!

A feast in store this weekend - a Norfolk trip beckons - watch this space.....
