Didn't take a lot of photos today but happy with a few I did.

Quite unwell today, making fasting problematic. Needless to say I survived, and went togging for a few hours - though I did fall asleep in a hide.
Chiffchaff was a pain to get, but got it.

Duck Fight.
Egyptian Geese are a species of shelduck - but you all know that already.

Sat in bed watching TV. Looked behind me to find this big boy looking over my shoulder.... Handsome boy is in the house looking for love.

Invert's getting started in the garden this morning. I'm way out of practice with the equipment used in these images.

no problem...
We believe these to be Birch Woodwart #fungi though several other species look very similar. They are very small at c3-4mm per fruiting body.

RIP Holly Marie Wells and Jessica Amiee Chapman - may your loved ones find peace....
Onwards into the March collection.
What do you think she's shouting at the boys as they try to rip lumps out of one another?

Solitary Bees out and about the past few days, and Nuthatches too...

Spotted in a hide today buzzing its flight muscles (a technique to raise its body temp). Popped it onto my finger for a couple mins to help the process and it shot off when it was ready. Safely emerged from hibernation.

Goosander and Red-Breasted Merganser. Superficially similar but, when seen next to on another, with many and obvious differences, not least of which in size..

4 Egyptian Geese at Brandon this morning - early spring tensions were very evident. Absolute brawl is also an adequate descriptor...

One from a series I took this morning of the #Solardisk showing #sunspots - the location of which I verified....

Not much at Hiller's Farm hide today and a few people waiting, so we did the polite thing and gave up our seats.

Local Bank Voles are still going strong. They are very entertaining, as well as being super cute.

You don't want some for your b'day then?
We spotted GC Grebes doing their mirroring dance so stayed with them to see if they moved into the weed dance.
They did but with one miserable, measly, and pathetic strand - she was not impressed...
There's still time.
