Orielton Decoy and Crickmarren Pond

WEBS a few days early - there were actually some birds on the decoy, 3 cormorants,mallard, 2 moorhens and a BHG.

Crickmarren was lovely in the sunshine - it's a place of contrasts with some deep shade. The great white egret was having a preen, enabling new views of this bird. Little grebe 1, grey heron 4, moorhen, mallard, teal, gadwall 4 -  and a new species for me here, a pair of shoveler. 




"Did anyone see that?"
