I was really taken by the breeding plumage Black-tailed Godwits. Really stunning to see the vibrant colours as opposed the plainer winter plumage.

Titchwell
A visit to Titchwell is always highly anticipated when I go to Norfolk. This visit just as good as any other. A pair of Red-crested Pochards were a first for me (well, real live wild ones anyway). I'll add some pics of those at a later date.

ReplyDeleteHi Adam, I spotted your link on Our World Tuesday, and popped over here to visit. I love your bird pics . A Black-tailed Godwit visited our waters here in East Africa for a brief time over Christmas. I never realized that its breeding plumage is so vibrant (my bird book only has plates not photos) Thanks for sharing. Do you also link to Wild Bird Wednesday (a blog set in Oz) ? Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteYou're right Adam about the difference in the plumages, even at this time of year. Your pictures illustrate this really well. It's a long time since i visited Titchwell.
