General Things From The Past Week

A few more pics from last weekend and during the week.
A beautiful sunrise over Northumberland


Back at Big Water lots of movement due to the Otters sauntering around.  I did notice that the Wigeon seem to be one of the first to take flight, even before the Coots sometimes.


Another panic caused by something at the back of the scrape.  A Fox perhaps but they dont seem to come out in the open much although John B got some stunning pics of one in the middle of last week


Couple of Whoopers just having a bit of exercise, havent been there since Wednesday so hope they are
still there on Saturday but one of them was ringed at Welney a couple of years ago so they might be
heading back there.


A flock of, sometimes 60+ and sometimes 110+, Greylags have been making an appearance
over the last couple of weeks with a few of them going onto the scrape


A couple of Water Rail put in an appearance the last 2 weekends but only managed to
get a pic of one of them this week



Thank god its Friday, just one more day stuck in our Sauna of an office then Big Waters here I come, but alas our lass wants the hedge finished off so will have to spend a couple of hours on that also.

What do you get up to with all those nubile office juniors that you have to use kleenex ?? Yoghurt, i think wor lass has heard that one before when she walked in on me watching the freeview on the Adult Channel. I think i hasd to use a kleenex then.
Getting pretty good at those in flight shots, aren't we...........well, you are. First Water Rail image on here for ages, well done that man.
I'm sure you used that hedge cutting excuse so as not to have to put up with me any longer the other Sunday. Although we have had good growing conditions recently.
