I think the nearest ones nesting to me are somewhere in Wales which is still a long way for a day trip. <br /><br />Hi Mary, I'd have thought you should still be getting waders (shorebirds) on passage over there. HOpe so.<br /><br />Hi Jan, I did have a good time. That's the joy of birding, it's always unpredictable!

A lovely collection of photos and yes, they do look particularly nice when enlarged.<br /><br />I am already turning a delicate shade of green in anticipation of the wild daffodils. Sadly, there are not too many places to see the truly wild ones any more.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086807027793960790.post-10372286029119807822013-04-11T22:38:20.490+01:002013-04-11T22:38:20.490+01:00I love that grebe!

Patience does work out sometimes doesn't it! <br /><br />Hi David, I guess if I missed seeing Osprey this spring, I'll have another chance down on the Somerset Levels in the autumn. They're usually quite regular there! HOpe so anyway!
