RSPB Frampton Marsh

Post by Ed D »

First outing in a long time. Visited RSPB Frampton Marsh. A few more images to follow. Please feel free to add your images to this topic after your visit. I think it would be nice for people to see the range of wildlife there giving them a choice whether to visit or not. The water levels are well down because of our lack of rain. A lot of the marsh now completely dried out.

First up, a challenge for you. How many Goldfinches can you see in my photo?

Probably a lot easier to see on my Flickr page. :) Good luck and enjoy.

Saw a flock of over 150 flyout of the long grass as we walked past them. Did not see them until we were nearly on top of them. Plenty of chattering though.

I got to 51 and gave up myself. Was hoping you guys and gals would give me the definitive answer.

Another two from Frampton Marsh.

Lapwing I think. Did not think that they were as colourful as this one shows.

A Ruff I hope. Not good naming birds at the mo.
