Starting to get crowded

[sleipnerofasgard]

Around a few of my local reserves, started off as a Kingfisher day but after 4 hours at Mere Sands Wood where a second brood has fledged recently culminating in a very active session with five flying around at once. But they were too hyper to perch anywhere close except for a couple of seconds on the nearest perch which everyone missed.
So got fed up and went to Martin Mere Where The first thing i saw was



and she, or so i was informed. stayed around for a good few hours so everybody had a chance to see. Then more surprise visitors, 3 Little Egrets, my closest sighting





Even managed some flight shots





I had record shots of Greenshank, Little Ringed Plover and Sparrowhawk but to cap it all a couple of the juvenile female Peregrines from Scarisbrick Grammar School were causing a ruckus



And arguing over lunch



Sisters are doing it for themselves................................Apparent ly
