So there I was typing nice things about sunsets and thinking, 'Be nice to have a bird pic to put on too' but nothing was to hand.
A Facebook alert appears and there is a lovely shot of a female Shoveler with four fairly young ducklings, taken last night by Linda Peall.
It really is turning out to be a fabulous breeding season out on the marsh which is still looking lush and wet.
Two Black-tailed Godwits and a Curlew were seen today and two Green Sandpipers called yesterday evening and are probably stil lurking in the fringes.
