An Hour Out in the Rain

Was Blue sky and large raindrops when I left but had to get out the house!

Only went up to my usual Haugh

Buzzards were very vocal when we arrived 

the wind was hellish then came more rain

But saw  my 1st Whooper swan and Bar-tailed Godwit so wasn't all bad

Whooper seemed to be making friends

A bit unsteady on them legs

Oops

A lull for 5 mins

Lapwings took to the sky and we took to the soggy wet path home

Poor Whooper

Thanks for looking...I hope to be out tomorrow again weather permitting!

    Lovely set despite the weather; nice to get Godwits and the huge flock of Lapwings along with a rather sad looking Whooper Swan, It's a bit of a worry at the moment with incoming winter migrant waterfowl as Martin Mere WWT had to close to try keep Avian Flu at bay. When I think of the devestation this strain has caused, it is heart-breaking,
