RSPB Blacktoft Sands



 Cloudy and cold day for my 3rd visit of the year to Blacktoft. A good number of vehicles in the car patk, so I was surprised to find marshland hide empty. Lots of coots, a few tufted ducks and 2 female goldeneye.


 3 pochard were busy diving for food before they swam to a small island to preen, it is not often that I see a pochard out of the water.


On one of the islands in front of Reedling hide were these snipe.


A grey heron landed in front of Singleton hide.


Several marsh harriers were "hanging" about in the wind.


I returned to marshland before I left the reserve and saw this black-tailed godwit on an island.
