On what was yet another cold grey and overcast day. Lisa and I brightened the mood by visiting RSPB Burton Mere for our winter fix of water birds. There was a good variety as always here, and we were greeted in the car park by the sound of overflying Pink-footed Geese. There was lots around and some good birds added to the Year List, with the likes of Knot, Curlew, Green Sandpiper and Dunlin.
The highlight was a Great White Egret dropping just metres away from us while standing at the Bridge Screen.
You can see more of our visit here:

Wow, a great variety of birds, I love the Egrets, ducks and most of all the Lapwing.

...Adam, you saw a fabulous collection of feathered friends and thank you for taking me along to see the sights.
ReplyDeleteI wish the long-tailed tit would visit my garden. They are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been years since I watched birds In England, and this reminds me of one day when we saw some really good ones.
ReplyDeleteWhat joy to see all those birds in flight! Scattered yet not bumping into each other.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. It looks like a very productive day out.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Egret photos and very professional series of photos ~ thanks for commenting on my blog too
ReplyDeleteThat Egret looks amazing and WOW, so many birds taking off or landing. That Mallard did the perfect selfie!
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd last photo is my favourite!

Stunning photographs. I can understand the enthusiasm. The flock of birds in the sky with loud cries – you don't see that very often here anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Have a good week. Greetings by Heidrun
