The sun was shining and so I headed to Rye Meads to be a birder for a change! Water levels were still high but it was lovely to see the Kingfishers using the bank at the Draper hide.
It is a bit far for anything other than record shots.
I typically see lots more Goldfinches than Greenfinches (it used to be the other way around once upon a time) so it was nice to spy this little chap who was hiding!!
The herald of Spring the Chiffchaff. One of two warbler species the other was old Billy bigmouth the Cettis Warbler!
I do like Little Grebes.
I got to the Kingfisher hub and this beauty appeared. I understand there is a pair at the bank by the Kingfisher hub and a pair at the Draper bank.
I did see a butterfly, no idea what species and as well as the usual ducks there were some Snipe.
I wandered home for lunch and popped out for a short stroll.
The common is still too wet really but I went to say hello :)
I saw an Orange butterfly... not well enough to id it though!
A nice day :)
