On approaching the reserve entrance a pair of Green Woodpecker were feeding only managed this grab shot as they flew off.
From the first hide a Heron was fishing, have never seen them this close to the hide before on this reserve.
Swans have 7 Signets
Lots of Mallard about and counted 23 ducklings at one point. No wonder the Mink is hunting here, 3 male and 2 female Tufted duck, usual Coots and Moorhens no LRP and only 1 common Sandpiper
John E has caught the green wood there - tho I've never seen them there! Given that there are few if any fish in Pwll Penarth (hence no grebes/goosander etc) and the heron was under the sand martin cliff could that be significant?? Didn't see it stick its head in any of the nest holes did you
ReplyDeleteNo its eye were on the water caught 3 fish and flew off.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Green Woody in that area and never seen the Heron in that spot either.
ReplyDeleteworth keeping your eyes wide open in that area have seen them there for the last couple of years but only at about this time of year
