Tree Sparrers
With the forecast predicting a spotlessly sunny Sunday, I made it my business to get out with camera and bike, no excuses. Fortunately, no excuses came my way and I was able to cycle to RSPB Portmore before the sun rose. The air was filled with the honking of whoopers, whistling of wigeon and squeaking of teal on the flooded fields, which all rose and moved on as the sun rose. Hundreds of golden plover and lapwing flew in Vs overhead, while an extraordinary number of shoveler and diving ducks resided on the lough. There were plenty of these sparrows at the feeders, as well as on the wild bird cover with linnets and finches. A very good morning!
