Gargany Priory CP 13-04-2017

I managed to catch up with the Gargany Drake on the Finger Lakes at Priory CP this lunchtime which was a bit of a treat:-)

Gargany Marston Vale MCP

Bit of a grey dull day, I started at Marston Vale MCP and got some good views of the male Gargany, also saw Cettis Warbler and 2 Beardies on the same pond adjacent to the road leading to the car park. I then moved on to Lidlington where I bombed out on the Lady Amherst but did get a very brief glimpse of a Firecrest at the bottom of the track near the pond, once again it was far too quick for the camera how frustrating! On the way home I popped into Eversholt, but sadly no sign of the LSW, when I got back to Leighton Buzzard I got some lovely views of the Blackcap and Song Thrush in the garden after the ivy berries.

Happy Easter Everybody

Dunstable Sewage Works Garganey

Hear are some pictures for all of the Juv Garganey at Dunstable Sewage Works this morning. It was on the scrape in front of the hide with about 20+ Teal, 1 Common Sand, a few Moorehen, 1 Water Rail and some Mallards amongst other things.
Also a pair of lovely Bullfinch on the approach access road.

Proper wild duck

Garganey at the Long Pool, MVCP.



One of three Arctic Tern at Chimney Corner North. No sign of Sandwich Tern; MJP picked out a Black-tailed Godwit.





On any other day, finding an Osprey would be a notable event - not this day, however !



A Willow Warbler at MVCP



Thanks to the finders !!
