We got out early today, and down to sandbach flashes to spot some birds. There were plenty of wigeons and teals about. Here is some nice shelduck footage I got.
There was a big heron on one of the lakes.
A chaffinch:
The first new bird for the blog in this week's post is a reed bunting.
I also saw my first little grebe of this year.
In the next clip there are two tufties and with them is a female pochard. It's the first time I have ever been able to record one.
My favourite new bird today was this distant barnacle goose. You can tell which one it is as it is much smaller than the canada geese.
Finally, a collared dove.
I saw a few other birds today including pintails, the godwits, and lapwings which were all very far away.
That's all for today's post. Which bird was your favourite? Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading.
Hey Joe, my favourite today was the barnacle goose. Great photos and update.
