A Common Snipe and a Redshank take a well earned break from their hectic search for small invertebrates and crustaceans along the coastal section of RSPB Leighton Moss. As far as I could tell, worms and small crabs topped the day's Specials Menu.
This is a portrait taken on a recent visit to the RSPB reserve at Pulborough. Like stonechats do it was flitting around a great deal and thankfully from my perspective often perched out in the open at the top of a Bush. It also made a good deal of noise and whether that was my presence or something else I'm not sure. There is quite a difference between winter and summer plumages but I am pretty sure that this is a female in her winter attire. My only concern is that its white throat is a little indistinct.
This image was taken at Dungeness RSPB and I have included it here not for any other reason than I like it and I hope you do to. The bird was dropping onto caterpillars from a line of old fence posts
As is often the case my presence spooked the ducks as I approached. Thankfully on this occasion I was quick enough to capture a shot of this fine looking gadwall.

The male is distinctive in it's breeding plumage with a black head and throat, a white moustache and a broad white collar.
I spent today at RSPB Rainham Marshes with a small group from our Wakering Photography Group, we picked the hottest day of the year so far, "Phew" it was hot.
Robin.
I absolutely adore Robins, they never fail to put a smile on my face, and this one certainly achieved that.

The Cormorant is a common bird that can be found throughout the UK, along the coast and at inland lakes. Regardless of their large number I always find that they are a head turner. Their prehistoric looks probably have something to do with this.
This particular one was seen flying from lake to lake at the RSPB run St Aidans nature reserve.
