Blown Away between the Showers

Gadwall (drake)

Another blustery week but the odd moments of sunshine did allow a few snaps to be taken.

Hazel

(Male flowers above, Female below)

The windswept beach did produce this nice composition.

Teal

(4 failed attempts to locate the G-wT)

The feeders at Chevington are attracting Water Rail. I was really pleased with my photos until I saw Tom Tams' picture on twitter.

Pheasant

Beautiful birds (a bit stupid, but beautiful).

Despite the squally showers it was a great day to be out. Marsh Harrier (male), 2 Sparrowhawks, Weasel, Cetti's Warbler (singing), Roe Deer, and the Druridge (Playschool) Little Owl

Good to catch up with two visitors from Northern Ireland (Dave and Derek) Hope they had a good day.
