Venus Pool - feeling frisky

I haven’t done this for a while now – sat at Venus Pool to see what might fly in (about time for a Little Ringed Plover?) Guess what, nothing did! I wiled away an hour of the morning taking in the usual seasonal birds, many of which were getting a little ‘frisky’.

The Oystercatchers in particular were certainly making plans for little Oystercatchers! DEespite looking well satisfied and very pleased with themselves, it was all over in seconds!










Lapwings laying claim to a territory and seeing off anything else......








The Shelducks flying united.....






By 10.30, enough was enough and the lure of high ground (Burrow Hill Fort) proved to be too much. I called in at Longnor where one of these was showing well.....






On my way to see this!
