Birds are starting to disperse and there's lots of fighting going on, typical breeding season behaviour - the Bramblings are hanging on but if the weather stays warm they'll soon be off.
At WWT Caerlaverock in Dumfries and Galloway.
All the wildlife at this centre is wild, (other than the sheep and Long Horned Cattle) they have no captive or pinned birds.
The only part I didn't enjoy about our trip was the camel ride. My saddle was not properly paddled and i bounced directly on the metal frame for almost 1 1/2 hours! I also expected the Nomad Camp we were staying in to be more than just nice tents in the desert...and not real Nomadic community.
The Grape Hyacinths in a nearby garden are popping up everywhere.
Thankfully for me, the owners only use the house in the summer months and their garden becomes a bit wild in their absence.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

19th March 2017:
The sun tried to come out today on several occasions, but it didn't last long. I nipped over the road at one point to find my photo for today.
I didn't get what I'd gone out for as it was very windy and not much was staying still.
I took this really close up of some moss on a garden wall. I'm not sure that I haven't actually gone in too close, so comments welcome.

Early morning and early evening light make Wakodahatchee wetlands a wonderful place if you enjoy photographing some of your favorite wading birds in flight. It’s not the place to capture those low-down, water-level shots. There’s no access to the water’s edge and for good reason. Several good-sized alligators also make Wakodahatchee their home. Get too close and they could make you their dinner.
A wood stork flies in sunlight against long shadows falling on the background foliage. These large birds continue to fortify the nest throughout the nesting season. Their nests are so close to the boardwalk that the unwittingly lackadaisical onlooker could find themselves wearing a splash or stork droppings if care isn’t taken. It’s well worth the risk.
A lovely old Renault 4 being used by the Pizza restaurant/take-away not far from us.
