Rye Meads Febuary 2018

This moorhen was standing contemplating a stick. Maybe nesting material or the starting position for this years nest, We’ll see next time.

Seen at Rye Meads febuary 2018.

There were a few of these here on the day, both light and dark ruffs.

Most of the watere here was covered in weed.

Someone said there were up to 4 kestrel chicks in this box. Again taken from the kingfisher hide.

Saw this from the kingfisher hide. Assuming it is a Chiffchaff because of the dark legs, didn’t hear it sing though.

There were a couple of these flying around, being mobbed by carrion crows. Saw what I thought was a another buzzard later but…

A surprising sight. Quite a few people were in the hide watching this.
