Season Changeover

17/9/2011

Bird are still changing over. The winter visitors are arriving - early swans and geese already but there are also birds that are more transient. On Wednesday we saw two adult Arctic Terns inland. 

Yesterday is was the turn of the Eastern coast and Gulls where we met up with both adult and young Mediterranean Gulls. As the name suggests their natural range is further south. Had they bred locally? I don't know although one adult was ringed. Anyway, it was an opportunity to photograph them in flight - previous only on terra firma.

Birds on the move

The coast has been exciting lately with wader numbers increasing. Both Bar and Black tailed Godwits are congregating as well as flocks of Redshank with some much rarer Spotted Redshanks joining them. 

The poor weather of late might not be good for humans but it has resulted in good number of Curlew Sandpipers adding to the variety now, with some of the youngsters being very tolerant of humans!  See picture. Warblers are also moving along the coast just now, with Willow Warblers, Whitethroats, Blackcaps and Sedge Warblers all gathering in coastal bushes.

    Having both worked in the computer industry for a number of years we now have time to devote to our passion, namely wildlife photography. We like all subjects but usually concentrate on birds throughout the year, buttterflies and Dragonflies in the warmer months and moths sporadically.
