Frampton Marsh Monday 14th April

Paid my first visit to Frampton on Monday and have to say I was very impressed both by the Reserve and the birds on view. Highlight for me was the sight of large numbers of Brent Geese, a first for me.

Started with a handsome Greylag in the mornig sun

Greenshank and Redshank (nice to get both in the same frame!)

Nesting Coot

Avocet island

Lovely display of Brent Geese in flight - plus a solitary Oystercatcher(?) with an identity crisis!

Closer look at the Brents

and on the ground

Black tailed Godwit

This guy was sitting quietly by the side of the path preening. Snapped off a shot or two then edged past whilst his attention was elsewhere!

Little Egret

and finally a Skylark doing what only he can...

A great day. I'll be back!

Thanks for looking

Ian
