A Piper in the Pool, and back to the MUD.

On Sunday we should have popped off down the coast to Seaton Marshes. However, due to the dull day i made a split second decision to accompany Mark to Middlebere again (his idea). So i find myself sat in the hide on the channel with just a 300 f4 and a 1.4 conv, with a very large expanse of marsh and reedbed fading into the distance. Needless to say i wasn't expecting to get much from the day. This all changed, when a Green Sandpiper flew in to the pool close by, and i embarked on a quest to get some decent shots. I was having a 'lifer' orgasm,,,, well almost. Took loads of shots, some of which are below.







After this we trotted off back 'home' to Loddy, the mud, and the Godwits.


And Spoons




Some of these shots were taken previously, and later in the week. Still no Horse Spray shots!!!

  1. Particularly nice shots of the Green Sandpiper Frank. Went down to Loddy with the Little One after work yesterday, only to be told about 30 minutes before we got there that the Spoons and Green Sandpipers were adjacent to the West Path. Next time.......
