The rainfall had eased somewhat over a couple of days so a recce visit to both Reserves was carried out.
Fortunately at both Reserves the flood water had receded and all the path ways were open.
Lodmoor Reserve
 |
| Cormorant |
 |
| Grey Heron |
A flock of about 50 Golden Plover were settled on a stretch of land, but some distance from any viewing point.
 |
| Canada Geese |
 |
| Common Snipe |
 |
| A flight of Lapwing |
 |
| Teal Duck |
Radipole Lake Reserve
Mostly Herring Gull were observed on the waterways.
 |
| Adult Herring Gull |
 |
| First Year Herring Gull |
If you study gulls as they rise from the water they tend to shake themselves vigorously which provides a rather unusual image.
A distance few shots of one of the Marsh Harriers that reside on the Reserve.
Not much flora to be found now at this time.

| Hieracium |
Aivan ihana alue! Siellä on tosi paljon lintuja! Meidän pitää odottaa monta kuukautta, että ne tulevat takaisin tänne.

DeleteI'm glad that the floodwaters had receded enough for your visit - no such joy at Welney for a while yet, I suspect. That's a very curious shot of the gull shaking itself.
ReplyDeleteWelney. I use to have to make a wide detour to get there from Peterborough at this time of year John.
