What have you seen

Great photos, B & J. 🙂

Club sites are always good for wildlife spotting.

We always try to put a bird feeder up on site, We were at Clumber Park last week and our feeder was emptied each day!

🙂

When we were last there the wardens told us to make sure we didn't leave any shoes in the awning as the local fox was pinching them during the night. A fox shoe fetishist.

Had a wonderful walk along the coast of the Firth of Forth on a balmy day.

Rafts of Eider along with about 30 remaining Sandwich Terns with quite a few youngsters, Curlews, Sanderlings, Turnstones, 2 Red Throated Divers, a flock of 16 Red Breasted Mergansers flying in at the same time, a Whinchat on the dunes and to cap the day our first sighting this autumn of incoming Pink Footed Geese, a skein of about 50 heading in from the North Sea in late afternoon. Magic.

Same problem at Commons Wood

We had toads sleeping in our trainers, left under the ‘van, at Thetford Forest site, last week. Had to rescue them every morning.

And another fungus photo from me, taken this morning at Titchwell RSPB reserve. Think it’s an ink cap ....🤔

Definitely looks like an Ink Cap Pliers. Just don't eat it! It should start turning inky now.

Had a heron swimming in the Great Ouse opposite the MH yesterday morning. By the time I'd grabbed the camera he'd relocated to the far bank and adopted the customary pose. Annoyed that I missed a water-borne shot.

At least 15 cattle egrets following grazing cows at Holkham reserve this morning. Pretty sure this is the 1st time we’ve seen them in the UK.

Expect they’ll be everywhere within a few years !🙂.

We've got plenty in Somerset! They have spread their wings in the last twenty years. 

They even reached the Wirral last year with a few overwintering on the fields at Burton RSPB site. They certainly live up to their name.

Edit - Brue, you're not getting your Cattle confused with Little ard you as Cattle Egrets do seem to be fairly new arrivals?
