Dropped into Big Waters yesterday afternoon as I was going

to miss the Sunday Walk due to attending a Mothing Day

at Howick, hosted by Stewart Sexton.  At 14.46 I receive an email

from AJJ telling me all the things I had missed cos I went mothing.

He must have shovelled down his dinner then immediately took to

the keyboard to do a bit of PeeTaking. 

I can handle it though

Anyway I did get to Big Waters yesterday and put in a shift looking

for the odd tick or so and one or two did come my way although just

being there, is in itself, an absolute treat.  Here are a couple of pictures

and a video of extracts from the afternoon

 Hang on kids, Dinner is Coming

A couple of Snipe were on the scrape although only this one was close enough for pictures

The Mallards go Mental as a Grey Heron comes looking for elevenses

The Heron eventually backs off looking dishevelled

But just when you thought it was safe 

Finally a compilation of a few things I saw during the day
