This is going to be a little different I am starting this thread off with pictures taken today and working backwards just to be different :)
Some Bar-tailed-Godwits and Redshanks down at the salt marsh this morning.
Got these wrong they are Black-tailed-Godwits not Bar-tailed-Godwits

In reply to Kevin Coffey:
Thank you Hazel, I have to re-name the Bar to Black-tailed-Godwits, and the rain did not start till this morning and then it was only a shower.
Thanks Alan, I will be getting more ready very soon :)
Thank you Kevin.
In reply to James:
A few more from yesterday.
The Nuthatch was that close no need to crop :)
And this could be FMR came to me hand for the mealworms.
Good to see the birds by feeding logs as I didn't really photograph them this visit. Poor birds look positively tatty as they moult !
They were and I felt sorry for them :(
Some from Thursday.
Not sure if this Wren is a young one or one in moult.
Coal Tit in molt.
Marsh Tit.
Crow dropping a mussels to try and open them and it worked.
Ruddy Darter? dipping pond.
Marsh Harrier.
Stag showing the height of the reeds this year.
Heron
Holly Blue.
Some superb pics there Jim. I'd say your moulting Robin is a actually a juvenile that has almost got full adult plumage. Several of them were hand feeding when we were there in June, so it might be one of those. There were two at the feeding log. One of them was a hand feeder but its territorial rival was more interested in having a scrap.

In reply to monkeycheese:
You are right Paul, he does look in good condition, sadly a lot of the others don't :(
very nice additions Jim, well done getting the roe deer as it was often only showing its head/back as it was half hidden down in the ditch that runs behind Grisedale.
