Beaten By A Big Bog

I paid the price today of trying to use one of the former access routes out of this reserve which is probably Swillington x 8 on the minimal side. It didn’t work and backtracking and rerouting added miles to my aged legs 😟.

Imagine being in a peaceful hide gawping at a gasping sitting Stone Curlew 😛. Suddenly a cascade of c40 LRP drops in and for 10 minutes there is mayhem as they chase and yell at each other 😋. 6 Kentish Plover didn’t go unnoticed either.

1 Red Kite, a few Swift and the usual multiplicity of Flamingos, Terns, Glossy Egrets & Little/Cattle Ibis (See what 🍺, 🍷 and no 😴  💤 does!). 1 each Purple & Grey Heron. Stonechat & couple Spotted Flypastyer.
