July excitement

Well let's not go overboard, but it is always nice to get a year tick in every month, but actually near impossible to achieve.

But July does bring some almost predictable possibilities and I am not going to pass up on a flock of 8 Black-tailed Godwit, well not on purpose.




Said birds were not around early Saturday morning 14th, 4 Green Sandpiper, Barn Owl and Little Grebe were keeping me entertained at LFGP at 06:30 and the Kingfisher was again on it's perch.

It's worth a record shot of the LFGP and Lavell's since we've not seen the water level so low since creating these lovely shallows and refreshed habitats. I've included the fencing shot as we will have new fencing in a few weeks and it's always good to have before and after records.








My shots from that week include said the Kingfisher, Little Grebe, Grey Heron, Little Egret and Green Sandpiper, a juvenile Stonechat - very uncommon July species.
