Oh joy of country walking across the fields and to the coast with my trustee girls that are always keen, ready and waiting with leads in mouth we never know what delights await us in the form of wild life.
The last couple of days I have seen a strange sight in the skies above a scrape the other gulls and terns chase it away and I managed to take a couple of poor photos with my bino camera to see if I could identify it.
Today there was a pair and of course! springwatch eat your heart out we have our own pair of Avocets gracing the skies above Harwich! What an absolute delight and an amazing year for myself as a novice bird watcher that is forever taking pics home to identify these feathered friends.
Back in April I was lucky enough to spot the Red Backed Shrike a truly wonder to see and now here we have these wonderful birds and a pair no less!
I am not sure if they are nesting as the scrape belongs to the wild fowlers on privately owned land but I will see if I can get permission to take a look would'nt that be just great to have a nesting pair!
