I asked Andrew on his blog the other day what the photo ops at Adwick Washlands were like, he said it was a great little place to visit so on his recommendation I decided to pay it a visit this morning.
With the wind getting gradually worse it was no surprise that it was fairly quiet on the reserve but you could still see the potential of the place with better weather.
The first thing I came across was a large flock of Lapwings, that got spooked by something
and on the other side of the bridlepath was this beauty hunting and taking no notice of me.
I struggled to keep the camera still in the strong wind for these
Quite a few Goldfinches in the area of the sunflowers (also spotted a single Yellowhammer with them)
one of the several Grey Herons I saw
a beautiful Kestrel from the viewing platform ( a cracking design and area to view from)
will certainly be going back on a better day...and anyone travelling by train it's just 5 minutes from Bolton upon Dearne train station.
