With a failure of the Hares to re-appear in the main it was a return to Venus Pools for a look see and here is what was found.
|
Curlew were having a wash and brush up. |
|
Posing like professionals. |
|
Not always. |
|
Cleaning every feather. |
|
Over and under. |
|
With an occasional flap around to dry off. |
|
To the annoyance of the Lapwings. |
|
The Oystercatchers remained aloof. |
|
Shelduck were at their normal beligerence for this time of year. |
|
Not giving up. |
|
Even underwater. |
|
A Common Buzzard Flyby. |
|
Total disdain for the goings on. |
|
A Lapwing squadron on approach.
The general outlook was quite and the water levels seem to be dropping even further, but praying for more rain might be a non-starter. Oh well! Sping is on its way the White of Blackthorn is moving north and the Green! is chasing hard as new buds appearing all over the place. Sand Martins soon to be seen passing through.
