A take on 'Hot Birding'...


















A return to Hot Walls for some more pictures of Black Redstarts along with Andy and a few others. Sadly, the male was disinclined to pose in the sun; there was a rumour of two males yesterday. Two displaying Oystercatchers were chasing each other well offshore.

Too busy so no parking available at PHP  and then  lunch at QECP, also too busy with half-term 'traffic' to warrant any time here.

A brief one hour visit to Farlington produced 60+ Pintails mostly roosting on the lakeside, a dozen or so sleeping Avocets out on the mud and maybe three Bearded Tits pinging and flying across the reed tops. Above, one of three Dabchicks just under the viewpoint.
