A few recent shots.

[Phill104]

Only walking to the local spots at the moment for obvious reasons. The bully is not recent but the rest are from the last week or so. The stonechats we do get a few around on the hills but they can be tricky to photograph there mainly as they are quite jumpy due to the number of dog walkers around. The Goosander is a rarity on the reservoirs. This one has hung around for a week which tends to not happen, on the rare occasions they have visited in the past they just pass through. We do have plenty of water rails always present but it is only in winter when we see them as the reeds thin out. In Spring and summer you can often hear them calling but they stay well hidden.
