Venus Pool - White Wagtails

In addition to the Yellow Waghtail influx there have been up to 7 White Wagtails present recently. At least 3 were showing well in front of the Memorial hide today.

Mopping up any flies the hirundines overlooked!

Coming ever closer!

It wasn't the quietest of sessions, two pairs of Oystercatchers were disputing territory and the two males were doing their utmost to tear each other apart.....
