:( I don't know how i missed all the photos above , Grayling . You were lucky to get the little grebes as you say they disappear just as you go to take the photo :yes: I love the swans , the nuthatch ... all of them and these last of the robins ..

And then yesterday we went down to Blashford and a Kingfisher alighted just a couple of feet from the hide, don't think I've ever been so close up to one before

That doesn't happen very often Grayling and it is nice to be in the right place at the right time.

Thank you Dave - I've now added my sighting to the thread :Cool:

A few from yesterday - Black-headed Gull

Posted Image

We were lucky to see four Dartford Warblers :Woo!: They're a devil to photo though as they keep bobbing around. There were lots of annoying little flies out yesterday, it was very sunny and quite mild so maybe that's what bought the Warblers out.
