A mellow yellow and supporting cast.

Sunday morning and over three hours at the Mire produced a few nice birds but none of real note, Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper, Dunlin and the odd Little Grebe. Two Cuckoo were heard calling from opposite directions, but none were seen.

I went on a Little expedition to a known midden where there is usually a bird or two shovelling S%$t and I was not to be disappointed.

This very obliging Yellow wagtail posed for a good while.
A lovely moment as it sat up on the rape for a Vogue moment, smashing.
Skylarks were running around the car very confiding even being to close at times.

Quite a smart bird but these individuals were a tad tatty.
Corn buntings a plenty and again very confident, they look odd when not singing!!


A nice few hours staring at piles of old potatoes and poo! to be a return visit as I missed the Grey Wagtails, still they will keep as will the other visitors.
Cheers
Paul
