Sunday 17th May: Oystercatchers
This morning the weather was still unsettled, with the wind still present and showers soon arriving.
There was nothing of note on the floods yesterday, despite a morning and evening visit. Today a morning visit looked like going the same way when a couple of OYSTERCATCHERS arrived in Stint Corner.
In Burgess Field the usual warblers still about, including the CETTI'S WARBLER which was still singing away in its usual place. Let's hope it has managed to attract a female to its territory. There was evidence of nest building with a greenfinch gathering feathers in Burgess Field and a linnet doing the same on the Meadow.
Very much a record shot only of the two oystercatchers. They were about as far away as they could be from my viewing point in grim light and windy conditions so the fact that you can even tell what they are is something of a triumph © Adam Hartley
