It was tucked up in the eastern corner of the pool, against the far reed-bed so the only way to get vaguely close was to go walk in - so glad I had put my wellies on!!
The 'Spinner' was not the least bit concerned and spent the next few hours constantly spinning around dipping for countless numbers of tiny insects. I never saw anything of any size get caught - it must be a hard life feasting on such meagre offerings!
A lot of 'samey' images were produced with nothing to touch the memorable Crosby Grey Phalarope of a few years ago but it's always a nice bird to see / photograph. It's sometime easier to dump the best here than agonise for too long, so here are a few to wade through!
Video would best to capture the spinning/ feeding antics! The odd wave gave a bit of interest with the bird crashing through.....
My favourite of this section....
A wingflap and brief hover......
There was one moment when disturbed by a Gull, a flight shot emerged too :-)
And I'll leave it there.......
