Sunday afternoon out

The weather on Sunday was sunny but cool but the afternoon sun caused a heat haze at Druridge Pools, which was no good for taking pictures of the Glossy Ibis, Channel Wagtail, Garganey or the Spoonbill. Whilst taking pictures of said Channel Wagtail, the Glossy Ibis disappeared and no one saw in which direction it flew it turned up at Cresswell a little later. The light was better but the Ibis did not want to play ball instead it was skulking near a fence in some long grass I did however get some shots.

Glossy Ibis

In flight it looks positively prehistoric

Channel Wagtail (record shots only due to heat haze)

Spoonbill. Again record shot

Wheatear

Male Blackcap

Female Blackcap

Mallard (I just like the shot)

Heron. I like the light
