What have you seen

Hey GL, There are Black Wing Stilts with chicks amongst other stuff, at Potter Higham marshes.  Going to see if I can find them in the next few days.

Went to Severn break its neck yesterday, but no sign of dippers. Took 3 passes of the bridge, but only wagtails with beaks full of insects. Visited the Osprey nest on the way back to the van just as one of the parents went fishing. Before we could decide whether to look along the lake, it was back with a fish within 5 minutes.

Thanks to all for the comments and good to see GL has returned to the fold.

Drizzle today, so not sure where we will end up.

Thanks for the comment.

I will be glad to get back to what I like doing.

Disappointing wildlife tally abroad, although we did have Turtle doves walking around our feet.

Not really about wildlife, but I sat watching a German lad fishing on Lake Bled......and he pulled in 6 Carp weighing around 30 pounds each in 90 minutes.  The crowd applauded each one.......as I was snapping each fish he landed...his girlfriend gave me a beer!!!

If we leave the EU...she might not do that again.

As well a second spot of the Barn Owl last night we were entertained for about 40 mins by at least one Grasshopper Warbler. It took us, and the others on site, a while to work out what was making the noise. No chance of spotting it but it's call was very distinctive. 

Nell, I have this website on my phone, haven't looked for an App

Little Owl landed briefly on shed roof this morning, too quick for me to the camera into action.  Haven't seen it for a while so nice to have it return

Whilst at Potter Higham nature reserve yesterday I was talking to a couple who assist in tagging Marsh Harriers.  So far this year from 17 nests they have tagged 66 chicks which is a record.  They still have 7 nests in Suffolk and Norfolk. 

 Just used the link OP, and keep getting a notification from a site called BlockAdBlocker, which I'm not going to open.

Don't understand unless its a firewall thing as when I click on the link it goes straight to the website.  You could just google birdsong UK
