What have you seen

Still having a quiet winter, looking forward to March 1st, van will be on the road.

Attached couple of pic's from Sunday, almost walked over this Otter cub hiding in river edge reeds, mum turned up to take control.

Third pic is of a few of the Mute swans (must have been well over 100), why do they not excite as much as other birds, they are truly beautiful.

Light for the Otters was awful.

The swans at Abbotsbury have been hit by bird flu, hope people take heed of the rules to prevent it. 

We get Woodpeckers in the park near us, but never seen one in the garden, but I live in hope.

Glossy Ibis at Eastbridge (Minsmere) today.  Poor light and rain didn't do justice to the glossy colouring

Quite distinct though Oneputt, such dark colouring. Thanks, hope you enjoyed your visit.

I'm envious, I'd love to see one. Missed them a few years ago at Frampton Marsh. Also missed the Swamp Hen at Alkborough although I went in search several times. Some you win! Keep irises wide!👁👁

Long way off Micky, but if you are down Somerset way this year look at a visit to Ham Wall near Glastonbury. There has been a resident Glossy Ibis for about 2 years now in good range with either a scope or good bins.

What happened to the curfew (not spelling mistake)?

Broke it, just love to live dangerously 👻👀

A week ago we had a drive to David Austin Roses in Shropshire and in the car park there were a flock of bramblings, we had never seen them before.  Another tick in our bird book!
