the warden answered some of our questions about bearded tits though - catching them, ringing them, etc. all very interesting.
i couldn't agree more with you dunlin, barely notice the rain do you? the more we get into all this birding stuff, the more we're enjoying it. i barely stopped smiling the day we saw the bearded tits and the bittern  |
Dunno Sprout - I can't remember which day I was there - poss the Tues 3rd? The trouble with rain is its perfectly poss to continue birdwatching esp with all the decent specialist clothing available these days - the thing I find imposible is to carry a load of photographic gear, keep it dry and manage to have it ready for use at a moments notice ........ and if the camera and gear isn't going then neither am I - cos I know I will see something which I could have photographed and no stuff with me ........ and I couldn't bear that!!!! Hahahaha! I didn't set off around the reserve as I expected the public path and definitely the rear path to be well underwater and I only have leaky boots (tho I have been eyeing up decent wellis on the web this morning!!) maybe next time I will get around the reserve ..........
