BROAD-BILLED SANDPIPER

27/07/2016 - Frampton Marsh

Working in Boston for the day was a bonus when a 4am start from Sheffield was a success when this little stunner was just a few feet from the 360 hide. Poor light and rain at 6am meant high ISO but still got to be happy with another new bird for me!













































CASPIAN TERN

22/07/2016 - Carr Vale NR

This site turned up another first for me when a stonking Caspian Tern appeared for a day and entertained all present by fishing around the reserve, catching and dropping a Perch in the process











































































KINGFISHER

18/07/2016 - Rutland - River Gwash Trout Farm Osprey Hide

A bonus Kingfisher in fading light








RED KITE

18/07/2016 - Rutland - River Gwash Trout Farm Osprey Hide

A baking hot day and no Ospreys turned up, however a Red Kite perched up as consolation
