I wandered down to Amwell Gravel Pits for the first time for a while. No sign of any Smew but there was a nice male Goldeneye to join the regulars. There was also a big flock of Siskin around (I never spotted a Redpoll). A Buzzard flew overhead.
From the viewing there were two Water Rails showing and one was taking a bath!! and a Chaffinch chased a Blackbird, well odd!!
Anyway a few pictures. The light by the feeding station was AWFUL.

Lovely photos Pete, looks like you had a nice morning in all.
ReplyDeleteCertainly the light was not good for pictures today, but I like your woodie and LTT.
ReplyDeletePete, the light might have been dull and low, but you sure showcased those birds beautifully! Bravo!
