An uninspiring day at the pools!

It is Sunday so I am having a lie in, until that is the phone goes not once but twice. Now that normally gets me up and especially as it was news of a couple of possible Ring necked Duck.

It did not take long to get to the Pools, and sadly it was a pair of juvenile Tufted Duck, That did not matter what did matter was the fact that when in doubt shout.

So what else was around? well the normal entertainment was around, in fact three kingfisher put in an appearance, and that caused a few vocalisations and an eventual chase.

A Hobby was present out over the trees on the far side of the pool and the Sparrow hawk was again hunting around the margins, mind you no strikes this time. So anothere day tomorrow and anothe chance of a rarer visitor!!!

I would appreciate comments on the blog as it progresses, just click "comments" below the blog entry.
