What's Buzzin' or Flying Near You Today..? MK 3..

Isn't it great to be able to see things in such minute detail,

Brilliant shots A, love the Bees.

A walk around Arne RSPB was very quiet bird wise apart from few 'Flotted Spycatchers' on their way South and the largest number of Little Egrets I have seen anywhere, 20+ mostly juveniles. In amongst them, and the Curlews were two Spoonbills.
18 Egrets. They were about 200 metres away so no close ups.


Spoonbills, Little Egrets, Grey Heron and almost invisible Curlews, extreme L&R and top centre.

A Sika stag walk across in front of us through the marshland which they are at home in.

 

This little chap was helping me out with the greenfly....excuse my ignorance but i assumed it was a lady Greenfinch but it's not... it'll come to me...

 

hmm, a Garden Warbler maybe?

 

Lolli it looks like a Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler, more like a Willow Warbler due to wing length and lighter colour, lots of them are on the move now and often come into gardens on their way.

 

Thanks nFrost and Strongy

 

Loli, it looks like a Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler, more like a Willow Warbler due to wing length and lighter colour although the legs look quite dark (Chiffchaff).
Lots of them are on their way South now and often come into gardens on their way.

 

The shots aren't very clear but he wouldn't keep still long enough....

 

I edited it as you were posting.

 

The length of the wings show better there Loli stretching to the tail, a Chiffchaff's are shorter.
We have had 32 different birds here in our garden (some for a few seconds) but a Willow Warbler is one we haven't seen. Lucky you.

 

@strongylodon ....i haven't seen one either till now....like i say on first glance i assumed it was a Greenfinch but then i thought ey up...that's not a finches beak...thanks for the ID....It's a lovely little bird....

Small White...


Brown Hawker...i think !
