Pennington Flash

These pictures are from a few weeks back when I took a visit to Pennington Flash, which is one of the premier birding sites in the North West. Such a varied array of habitats, it attracts so many different species.
It was a bright morning (always a bonus) and there was lots to see. There were Reed and Sedge Warblers in the reed beds. A Kingfisher zipped past while I was watching some of the many Grey Herons, and the main water held hundreds of Swifts, Swallows and Sand Martins. It was a fantastic Spring morning.

A male Blackcap was letting everyone know he was around.


Common Terns taking a rest in front of Horrock's hide.


Great crested Grebe.

A juvenile Grey Heron, and some Lapwings behind.

Little ringed plover.


Stock Dove

Something I try every year. Catching a Swift in flight. It's not very easy.

  7. The ring plovers are lovely. We have doves in our backyard though I don't know their names. They have pink on their collars.
