Damp and Gloomy

I was woken this morning by the other half telling me that there was a bird in the garden standing on top of another one, I jumped out of bed to see a Sparrowhawk devouring a Collared Dove in the rain and early morning gloom. I ran down stairs and grabbed my camera and took a few images through the kitchen window, then went back up and took some more through the bedroom window. 

Unfortunately all the images had to be taken through a closed window.

 Across Walland Marsh 10+ Tree Sparrows opposite the feeders and a Marsh Harrier. At Midley the 2 Whooper Swans still with Mute Swans in the Kale field, but best of all 2 Grey Partridges there a rare sight on the marsh now. Further on 8 Red-legged Partridges and another Marsh Harrier.  

On the reserve 2 Great White Egrets and 8 Common Snipe on Burrowes but no sign of the Long-tailed Ducks. 2 more Great White Egrets on New Diggings but little else of note.
A Swallow over the ARC car park, 4 Goldeneye including a smart male on the pit but little else of note.
