The past couple of weeks have been spent locally picking up some year ticks with Common Sandpiper on the River at Edison road, Hams Hall.
Also had more views of the Bittern at Ladywalk this time it was the paler one so now I have seen both Bitterns had lovely scope views beautiful birds, also picked up Short-eared owl.
Also a very exciting moment when someone said they could see some small geese in flight everyone was trying to guess what they were then they started to come closer and also called Dave then said White- fronted Geese, he is amazing I still couldn't tell what they were they got even closer we thought whey were going to land but they flew through there was at least 50+, a great year tick and even though I have seen them at Draycote it feels more of a local tick with it being Ladywalk. :)
The following weekend was spent mainly at Marsh Lane nature Reserve getting great views of the Jack snipe and manage to get a few photos but really struggled as the reeds were in the way lol love watching these birds they are so enjoyable watching.
Dave got a fantastic photo looks so natural and beautiful his so so talented so proud of the results he gets even though I get jealous lol.

Here's a couple of my Record shots of the Jack Snipe nowhere near as clear as Dave's but still glad to have a record Shot, also a record shot of the Mandarin Duck which was also at Marsh Lane :)
