Full of envy GL. The change of viewpoint has certainly improved the end result. Having the sun at your back makes a world of difference to the quality of shot.
Our usual patch for the SEO's (Aust Warth, between the two severn crossings) has been empty so far this year, still hoping or may have to have a day trip somewhere, nearest is about 40 miles away at present.

BM, you are quite right, having the sun behind makes a world of difference. Amazed that many other 'experts' remained in place with the sun in front or to the side....
In the morning I was watching a family of Otters, but the sun was dead in front of me and the Otters were mostly blotted out by the brightness, still nice though to be that close.
I am taking a rest from the SEO's....my wife called me a 'Twitcher' the other day...she knows how to hurt.
Not bad for one day though.

Decent day along the Whafe....a couple of female Goosanders, numerous Grey Herons and Dippers, and a glimpse of what I think was a Mink. Back on site it was pleasing to see a pair of Long Tailed Tits on the feeder I put up when we arrived yesterday.
A couple of great spots there, GL

For the last fortnight or so we've seen 2 blue tits looking at, and going in to, the nesting box. This happens a few times every day. I thought it was rather early to start looking where to build a nest, but perhaps the mildish weather has something to do with it? Never seen them doing that this early in the year.
