A visit to the Lodmoor Reserve Weymouth produced a very poor 'Record Image' of a Stone Curlew and a much better image of a resident female Kingfisher. The weather was very dull and a cold wind was also blowing of the sea front.
It is the first time I have seen Stone Curlew so I had to post these images.
I found this female Kingfisher fishing in a small drain area at the edge of the Reserve.
This Grey Heron found a nice sheltered area from the cold wind.
The little Egret spent all of his time fishing in shallow water.
A dull day for flight shots, but I was able to produce these after some post production work.
The Golden Plover flock remained on the water and didn't fly up at all during the time I was there.
Shooting through a hedgerow and reeds I captured the Black-tailed Godwit and the Common Snipe feeding on a small patch of ground surrounded by water.
You can usually find one or two Great White Egret on the Reserve.
The weather became much colder during the time I was there. All of the Canada geese that had been on the Reserve took off and flew in the direction of Radipole water in Weymouth, which is a much more sheltered area.
