Widewater in rain and Warnham in sun

Weather forecast promised a slight improvement today... went shopping and visited Widewater again.

This time, 2 pairs of Red Breasted Mergansers and...

Oooh I thought..

Yup, one male Goosander .. nice!!

Came home to have a snack and in the afternoon had some sunshine so popped over to a very water-logged Warnham.  The Tern hide walkway to the door was underwater.. so went no further.  Even ettig across the boardwalk to the Woodpecker hide, I really needed wellies.. which were at home but managed to negotiate the flooded pathway.

Lovely to see a buzzard against a much-forgotten blue sky!!  Record shot only..

Male Reed Bunting was visiting..

One lone Siskin..

and a visit from a curious Jay..

A few Long-tailed tits which was good..

And that was that.. .. pleasant hour... and what will the weekend bring?.. more rain no doubt but it is noticeably colder - which is no bad thing!!
