Sketching about

The Bittern spent a while up the reeds looking for the other one present. It's amazing how he/she can climb up them.

The Ringed Plover are back from overwintering in warmer climes. Nice to see them.


The swans are getting very frisky with each other. The male really goes for it.

There have been a dozen Redshank overwintering this year and they must have has a hard time with all the dogs in the area being walked around the Calder Wetlands where they like to be.
