Highlights were cuckoos, bitterns, bearded tits, glossy ibis, gw egrets, hobbys, Cetti's and garden warblers, baby tawny owls and a single garganey. None of these were particularly easy to photograph as they were all distant but I managed to get some record shots.

A stonking day indeed - any photo of a Cetti's is good in my world; it's hard enough just to catch sight of them!
ReplyDeleteIndeed - I was not sure of the spp until I saw the photos - Ive tried hard for a long time to get images of this bird
