In To October!

I had another trip to Arne, having tweaked a setting or two after the user messed up the settings lol

Met in the car park by a pair of Wagtails and a flurry of Chaffies

It's still the mouldy time of year!

I headed down the "Raptor Trail" which gives a view of one of the osprey platforms (empty!) to the hide there, thinking maybe a kingfisher, or white tailed eagle (well, you never know!!), might appear. Unfortunately neither did....but the rain did, and did it ever belt down. Then the wind changed slightly, so I had to move the bench as the rain was coming in the openings!

After about 20 minutes it abated, and I headed back along the path. Hmmm... what's this odd looking bird... has it been grounded by the weather? Nope, turns out it was a damp Mistle Thrush

It's still party time...fun gi

I'm just gathering my nuts!

Highlight of the day... most of these aren't cropped (but the light was a bit funny) .....

After these two wandered off into the woodland, rounding the bend ...

I headed down to the viewing shelter, and a family of lollipops came to my attention

There was not a lot to see from the screen, apparently I'd just missed a pair of quartering marsh harriers...so a fly by of the Avocet cavalry was good to see

And then going the other way....

I trailed the Kestrel, capturing quite a few images... and some were even ok!

And then heading back to the car park, one last party person!

Hope the sunshine-y bits brightened your day

Stay Safe All
