This was a really good move! En route to the Draper Hide I saw a Cuckoo and when I went in to the Draper Hide there was a good selection of waders.
Firstly two Black-tailed Godwit's
Greenshank....
Common Tern
Tufted Duck with chicks
I didn't see a Kingfisher, others did.... Grey Heron was on the pylon.
I saw a WillowChiff.... Willow Warbler I think....
A Painted Lady! I understand there might be an invasion happening this year.
Little Egret
Lots of Little Grebe and Great Crested Grebe which is unusual there. There was a gull that I think was Yellow-Legged.... It seemed too light for a lesser black backed and its legs were VERY yellow.
Jersey Tiger Moth (this was with the phone).
As I left another Painted Lady!
Cracking visit!
