A Few From Barons Haugh
Re: A Few From Barons Haugh
Had the place to myself this morning , was a cold but bright start to the day
Was mostly about the little grebes and a lovely green sandpiper, and a shy song thrush having a morning wash

You were way closer to the little grebes and sandpiper than I could get yesterday. Nice to see one made a catch. I don't see many thrush, well seen.Linda257 wrote: Tue Sep 09, 2025 4:15 pm Had the place to myself this morning , was a cold but bright start to the day

Little grebes kept catching fish then coming into the reeds close to me to eat, oh and the green sandpiper flew in to a ditch infront of me so that's the closest I have ever been to one. Small pond on the right is where kingie comes in at winter time but seemed to be well used today with GSW, chiffblers and lots of finches and the songthrush

Some from yesterday and today. Was fascinating watching the cow wading through the marsh. Little grebes put on a great show, baby Grebe wasn't having any of the fish the mother was offering and would duck under the water
...typical fussy wain

The baby grebe may think it's being fobbed off, it likes salmonLinda257 wrote: Thu Sep 11, 2025 6:09 pm Some from yesterday and today. Was fascinating watching the cow wading through the marsh.

Hi Linda! This is really funny how the mum followed her wee one around with a fish but it wanted no part of it!
