You were on my local patch then John

It's quite amazing how quickly Whitemore Haye has been colonised by the wildlife. The main lake is not that many years old but is already a favourite with winter wildfowl. Even had a couple of Little Egrets there earlier this year

No sign of the Avocets as I cycled back past there this afternoon. They may well be the same pair that were at Blithfield a few days ago.
