Hadn't been out with the camera for a few days as cutting down a small tree in the back garden (it was in the way of the new bird feeders) put my back out again.Will I ever learn.
Went down to Marsh Lane this morning getting there at 7.30 AM.It was sunny but a bit chilly.It was very quiet with nothing decent on show but I did get a Blackcap shot along the causeway.
At the far end of the marsh from the Oak hide this Grey Heron with a large fish flew in to break the boredom.
The fish which I think was a Tench was very much still alive and after 10 minutes of the Heron trying to position it to eat it was dropped.The fish did a couple of flips on the ground and then into the water and swam away.Lucky escape.
After a stay of an hour the back was beginning to protest so I decided to leave but not before coming onto a party of 4 Green Woodpeckers on the car park grass bank.Impossible to get close to I did manage a few shots of one of them.
NEWS FROM THE BACK GARDEN.
Am getting a few visitors on the feeders but only when the large mixed flock of Tits shows up and then ony LT Tits and Blue Tits.
Most birds on the feeders at one time is 12 nearly all LT Tits.Total of different birds to date remains at 7 with the top bird so far is a Nuthatch.

Blue Herons are such striking looking birds. It is incredible that you were able to capture these moments in time. Very cool. Thanks for the share, hope you have a fantastic weekend. Keep up the posts.
