Oh wow you seemed a TAD bored by the marshies. Thanks for the heads up on the GWE breeding beak! Nice to see the Grebes looking fab and a wee kingie thrown in aswell. Am no sure there was much room for anything else PB! Would have been good if the Dinosaurmorant knocked you over "baby"
Ham Wall was HUGE success. Well done you

Another great set of stunning photos. Thanks PB.
I was surprised by the Heron on a nest shot as I thought they nested in Heronries up in trees.

Thanks Jack.... I was surprised about herons in the reedbed too, a regular said there were 4 or 5 nests. A couple of years back we went to Swell Wood, which had views of egret and heron nests up trees... and some REALLY ugly youngsters lolJacksparrow wrote: Sun Mar 22, 2026 8:57 pm Another great set of stunning photos.
