Always guaranteed a sunbathing cormorant in its favourite tree by the river. Aye the GWE got a fish but pics not great as was sooo far away :shrug:

A nice set of photos once you'd tried every hide and gone back to where you started.

Carpark almost empty...so me thinking no Bittern was spotted :shrug:

Changed my usual route today and walked down through the woods to the Marsh Hide (its quicker)
Sky was blue , trees were raining and Jay's were very vocal...just my observations before arriving at the hide...woohoo it's empty

I see something white way in the distance...must leave immediately and get to other hide :photo:
Can you see it?


Nobody in the next hide woohoo...still looks far away :rolleyes:


Jeezo why can't it just be close to the hide :shrug:
A will walk fast round to the mound...yeah great idea Linda...forgetting the sun is shining right in that direction :nod:


A wee look in the river before a head back round to the hide
Toot tootand a sunbather


But a was determined to get a better pic of the Great White Egret, so after going back to the hide then back round to the mound yet again here's wit I ended up with...and a Little Egret was a bonus
A lovely selection Linda, bet you got you step count up!
