Great set of species and pics Jim and weather looking even better for tomorrow for you :) well done with the Otter and the Beardies, glad they are showing well and the new wooden platform should be a safer way to view the beardies rather than getting mown down by the passing farm vehicles lol Kestrel was a bonus too and looking forward to the next set now :)

Thanks Paul, Tony, its been a gorgeous day here today and took a lot of pictures, not saying these are the best but did not get back in till near 6:00pm, so just three for now and you can see who the boss was on the pond today.
Great to see the Beardies were making an appearance again and who can blame them with that beautiful weather; all change Fri/Sat when we arrive ! The Kestrel looked to be giving good views and the Swan must have been the boss on the pool !
The Swan was the boss Hazel :) and yes the BTs were showing well and the new viewing area already had a lot of people so I left Ron and Julie and carried on to the public hide Julie came in not long after and let Ron do his thing seeing he can can sit down with having a blue badge, the place was packed today they were parked on the lane down to the gate on the right and some parked behind us near the causeway and only left enough room for one car at a time to get through the gap, crazy people they will end up puttin a no parking zone if they keep doing that, after I left the hide about 3/4 hour after the Otter showed very close looking at the pictures this lady has shown on FB, I think the Kestrel was the same one that came yesterday and it did show well, anyways here is a couple more taken today.
First shot of the day.
another fine set Jim and yes, this glorious spell of warm weather seemed to bring folk out for bird/nature watching; glad you caught up with R & J and had a productive 2nd day.
Thank you Hazel, its been a very nice two days upto now just hope tomorrow keeps dry and I will be happy :)
Just going to upload these to use up some free bandwidth and not mine when I get home :)
