Venus Pool - LRP and Grey Wagtail

Little Ringed Plovers are playing a game of 'now you see me, now you don't! Mostly distant, this single LRP was a close encounter...








A single Grey Wagtail obliged by dropping on a submerged  old rotten fence post...

Bridges and Longmynd - Pied Fly etc

Heading to the South of the county, my first call was a Bridges. A Dipper soon made itself scarce but this smart Grey Wagtail was a different matter!


My first Pied Flycatchers of the year, several males and a couple of females were stubbornly in the canopy but at least one descended on the walk along the road - almost too close? 



Red Grouse on the Longmynd weren't new but this is the first to pop its head up and not disappear!


Another newcomer to the 2017 local list was Tree Pipit at Clunton Coppice....


Where I was about to be beguiled by my favourite woodland songster!
