Spotted redshanks at Blacktoft.

 


I arrived just before 2pm and left after locking up at 8pm.


The male marsh harrier was often to be seen on his favourite bush




A male pochard was asleep on an island in front of Townend hide.




A family of shovelers were feeding on Singleton.

Marshland was the most popular hide. 3 spotted redshanks were busy feeding, getting ready for the next part of their journey south.

6 green sandpipers were also feeding and calling to each other as they moved about the lagoon.




An adult grey heron was with 2 young birds



A barn owl was out hunting



I hope that the reserve continues to attract waders as the autumn migration gets into gear.
