Hide 'n' Seek Heron...

more rain overnight but a lovely sunny morning lured me out for a local wander... shame it didn't lure all the birds out!  Seems very quiet still at the reserve, although saying that I did spot lots of geese, various ducks, lapwings, great crested grebes, egrets, swans, coots, stonechats, meadow pipit, cetti's warbler (well, heard them at least!), robins, tits and sheep! The heron was being a little shy too!

The recent rainfall made for some fun times navigating muddy paths too! I now find myself finding a large stick to use as a walking stick for the journey home! Getting a nice collection for the garden haha
