Just a few images from very cold outing to Marazion & Hayle Estuary yesterday morning, at least the weather was fairly bright even though it was below freezing.
So what did I see? at Marazion I managed two year ticks namely Sand Martin of which there were about 20, and One Cetti's Warbler.
I then stopped off at Hayle on the way back as a Little Ringed Plover had been reported the day before on Ryans Field.
I did a scan from the hide but nothing seen, so then went over to the causeway where I met a local Birder John who found it on the roadside of the field, so managed to get a few images although they are not the best as I was shooting into the light, still its the best I have so far of this lovely little wader. This along with a Whimbrel far out on the mudflats made these two more for the year list which now stands at 123 so all in all a very good morning,
Also if I don't manage to get another post in this week I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Lovely images Monty. I like LRPs, very pretty, distinctive little birds I think. I hope you have a very Happy Easter too...it actually feels like I should be wishing you a happy Christmas with this prolonged, bitter cold weather!

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your loved ones!
