Before the storm Ciara

Hi all, I don't post a lot but having had a great day out at Minsmere last Saturday before the storm I thought I would share some pics.

A fine Dunnock spotted as I jumped out of the car, a good start.

Marsh Harrier scanning the reeds is always a treat.

An elusive Snipe at Island Mere, not spotted by me, thanks W.J for pointing it out.

Always good to see a cheeky chap, this one was in the dunes.

Other spots were Great Spotted Woodpecker in the woods near Bittern Hide, a huge flock of Long tailed tits in the trees between Bittern Hide and Island Mere, Otters at Island Mere, Muntjack, and more. all in all a good day out.

  • Thanks for the pics, B-Dave. That Dunnock is beautiful as is the Snipe and I never tire of seeing Marsh Harriers. The slightly fluffed-up Robin makes me think the day was a bit chilly. It was at Minsmere where we saw our very first Marsh Harriers many years ago.
