Lots of birds at lovely Lackford!

Limpy and I headed to Lackford Lakes yesterday afternoon, and the journey was well worth it:

This Canada goose (and its reflection) was looking good!

Just one of the increasing numbers of teal.

Bath time for Mrs Mallard!

This hungry cormorant wasn't having much luck.

A subtly beautiful male gadwall.

As Limpy had brought food with him it was inevitable that this inquisitive bird would appear!

A marsh tit.  At least, I hope it's a marsh tit - I've never seen a willow tit for comparison.

Awwwwwww.

This is the bird we really hoped we'd see -  a gorgeous nuthatch.

What a poser!

Yay!  It's always good to see this beautiful little bird.

I'll confess that I generally get carried away when I see a kingfisher.

I did briefly divert my attention from the kingfisher to this gleaming crow.

Finishing with one last kingfisher.

Enjoy, as always!
