Smew at Hookers this afternoon
Around Hookers this afternoon a couple of Bearded Tits calling remained unseen, the elusive drake Smew was moving between the pits via the linking channels, but eventually showed well.
A Grey Heron uncharacteristically posed for the camera at Hookers
Late afternoon from Dennis's the usual hordes of Cormorants, 8 Black-tailed Godwits flew through and a Firecrest was in the brambles. Only a few Gulls had come in by the time I left, I saw nothing unusual among them.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
