Stonechat, one of four or so on view, just wouldn't come quite close enough.
The Black Redstart posed on the chalet roofs but the Long-tailed Duck had done a bunk.
Three Kingfishers on view from Suffern Hide and the ubiquitous Marsh Harrier.
Water Rail again in evidence on west side plus the usual waders, tho no Golden Plover today. About ten or more Bearded Tits were performing in the vicinity of the grit tray.
A second visit to Meadow Hide produced point blank views of the vixen that I photographed a couple of weeks back. Kicked myself for leaving the camera in the car.
Still Red Admirals, Common Darters and Migrant Hawkers but no Ivy Bees today.
Gutted to get home and find I'd missed a Little Auk at Blashford!! Could hardly have been storm driven given the mild still weather.
