Local Patch

After a foggy start the sun came out and it only remained for the birds to sit still in front of the camera. Well, that rarely happens to me, but a Wren did sit still long enough for a couple of quick shots.



The Kingfisher post lived up to its name.



A local Common Buzzard drifted over. The Honey Buzzard invasion failed to materialize here !



Cormorant numbers have been increasing lately - up to 18. I prefer them to fishermen ...

Dunstable STW: Migrants at last

A Clear night to the south with fog locally - could we see some migrants ? Well, once the fog had cleared three Sand Martin flew through and a pair of Little-ringed Plover appeared. Residents included an obliging Kingfisher which posed briefly, and the 'plastic' pair of Whooper Swan took time out to preen.
