North Wales.

What a lovely day!! went to North Wales in search of Red Kites, alas non were to be found, but one could not help being blown away by the breath taking views, dropped in on a few places and while enjoying one last stroll along one last stream, for once in the day without the camera's, (could have ended up rather romantic) until we spotted this Mink basking in the sun, as you can imagine it was a mad dash back to the car to collect the camera's in the hope it was still there when we got back, as you can see it was!!

Tittesworth.

With so many places to visit so close to us, this is the first visit this year to Tittesworth and have to say it came up trumps today, spent just one hour in one of the hides and came away well pleased, did not get there this early last year and it suprised me how many species were out and about.

Lesser Redpoll.

Reed Bunting.

Spring Is In The Air!!

Taking a break from nest building, this Great Crested Grebe's tummy turned out to be bigger than it's mouth, struggling with this fish for a good while, till it gave up and left it on the surface and swam off to find it's mate, the young foal was really feeling his feet when let out into it's paddock, Spring is in the Air at last!!!
