A DECENT MORNING AT MARSH LANE.


Hadn't done too well on my last few visits to my local patch Marsh Lane but did much better this morning.

On the car park feeders a Great Spotted Woodpecker was busy feeding and didn't fly off when I parked nearby.






As I entered the CP hide a couple of friends (John H and Glen G) already there had found a Greenshank and kindly put me onto it. Hadn't seen one for a couple of years and the best wader for me here since the three Bar-tailed Godwits in the spring.












For a while the Greenshank fed alongside a Common Snipe which was my first for a few months.




In the reeds in front of the N Causeway hide a young Water Rail was having a good preen in the morning sunshine.
