Yet another sunny day so another trip to Minsmere.

Every day seems to be sunny at the moment, so a break from the garden and off to Minsmere for another look for the Smew.

From Island Mere Hide, a pair of courting Great Crested Grebes, they were some way off in the middle of the mere.

The pair of Smew were there from the start but way off to the far side. eventually they made their way to the middle for some half decent shots, but never any closer. At least it was better than the views I had the other day.

Singing Chiffchaff.

From South Hide a pair of Knots. It was a very still day so a chance of some good reflection shots.

Avocet.

What I assume are Black Tailed Godwits turning into their summer colours.

Suddenly everything took flight, I didn't see what caused it though.

Crow and Oyster Catcher getting in each others way.

A walk through the woods around the visitor centre is often rewarded with Treecreepers, this time there were at least three fitting about.

Some shots from a few days earlier, including the Lesser Yellow Legs which I didn't see this time.

Little Egret.

Some of the many Starlings that were about.

These are for anyone who didn't see the Lesser Yellow Legs I posted on the Minsmere Forum.

Best Wishes,

Trevor
