26 October 2014: Coombe Hill Meadows Reserve, Gloucestershire - my local patch.
A grey couple of hours but the thought of possibly seeing the Ring Tailed Hen Harrier that has been seen recently took me there(-:). Unfortunately it didn't appear. In fact it was unusually quiet on the scrapes.

The large flock of Wigeon stayed in the Long Pool out of sight, apart from evry time dog walker spassed by and put them up. Note the Leuchistic Wigeon amongst them in the first couple of pictures.
A squadron of Cormorants flew over
and a flock of Canada Geese flew in
As I left the reserve, this Mistle Thrush seemed to be making sure I went.

Those egret shots are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Darran - good exposure on white birds is one of the benefits of a grey day(-:).
