On our visit to the coast this weekend we saw about 7 Little Egrets. This one posed nicely at the roadside for us!

Crossbills
Again we had the pleasure of close views of these wonderful Crossbills. They were very mobile but when they came near to us they didnt appear too bothered by our presence:)
Yet more Adders
Great views today! Total counted by ourselves and others approx 15! What a creature!

Ross's Goose
This pretty little Goose has shacked up with a Greylag, they appeared very much "loved up!" It was nice to get good views of a rarely seen Goose
More Birds of Barton
Shown here are one of the new spring migrants, a Chiffchaff. Nice to hear them again, a sign of Spring :) Also this Great Crested Grebe had its beak full with this perch, it took a lot of swallowing! This female Shoveler gave a nice flypast

The Realm of the Marsh Harrier
Our local Marsh Harriers are showing really well at the moment. Never too close but such a delight to observe. They are awesome birds! They get some serious hassle too - constantly being mobbed!
Greylags again
Always noisy and raucous and very abundant! It was nice to have a bit of sunshine to capture some nice flight shots!
