What have you seen

As brue says Stourhead is great place to visit & walk round the lake or the woodlands &  wider estate  & the annual ‘Autumn Colours’ event  will soon occur.  This was my attempt at catching the colour in 2014, unfortunately a bit late but an enjoyable walk around the lake.  

Good start to our long weekend in North Norfolk.  Highlights so far, Osprey over Holkham Woods.  Water Rail and Kingfisher at Sculthorpe. Curlew, Blackcaps, Linnets and Hobby at Burnham Overy.  Holme produced our first  Yellow Browed Warbler of the season.  Lots of ducks, waders and geese piling in from overseas.

The best result from 4 days away.  Wednesday there were loads, Friday most were gone.

Caravan in for annual service at the moment, so a trip to Chew Valley lake revealed excessive birdlife that I did not realise were present in such numbers.

47 Egrets Little and Great combined

Several Heron, Gulls Hundreds of Cormerants, Black Tailed Godwit, Crows some with grey wings and many many more.

The Lake is not far from the Bath Chew Valley AS site.

Were you at Bempton? Beautiful birds aren't they.

Stayed at Chew Valley about 5 years ago and nothing much on the lakes then.

Great photos guys

As we were driving around to the other side of the Lake, I saw a sign for Chewton Mendip which is where the escaped Great Bustard has been seen, but it was not to be seen, even though it is supposed to be alongside the Chewton Mendip to Litton road.

Thanks for the tip Blue although not likely to get there this year.

Thanks for the photos. Just catching up.

Always great photos to see on here so thanks to all for posting.
