Marston stw this afternoon 31/08/2013

My main objective was to gather some cherry plums for jam making.Yer,I didn’t think you’d buy that one.I fess up,birding was the number one priority,but I did pick some plums,look…

There were around twenty odd snipe,probably many more out of site.Ten on the scrape,four on mud opposite car park,five in horse paddock and three on the back pool.

Two green sandpipers,two curlews and about fifty lapwings were around.Two little egrets in front of the hide were the first I’ve seen here for a while.

A hobby was around again,it likes to perch in the trees running parallel with the track and road,got this pic the other evening.

The field opposite the car park held a couple of wheatears.

Now that’s my kind of photo,can’t you just feel the moment ?
