There were Pied Flycatchers and Common Redstarts, plus some bonus birds like the Garden Warbler, Sparrowhawk and Common Sandpipers. It was a lovely sunny day, and the temperature lifted nicely too.
I found some nesting birds, and others in good locations. So that all bodes well for when I return in a few weeks time, to hopefully find some of them feeding young.

Most I love the Mandarin Duck here. I should try to draw them. But all the other captures are wonderful too.

ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend!
...the Mandarin Duck sure is exotic looking.
ReplyDeleteThat Mandarin duck. I am in awe! What a great day for sightings and wonderful photography too
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of a sparrowhawk but who could ignore the colourful mandarin duck.
ReplyDeleteThe Great Crested Grebe has such a delightful fan of feathers on its head. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to walk through nature with a camera, listening to the birdsong. The mandarin duck is definitely the most eye-catching.
