Birds from Hull and Hornsea

Although not a birdwatching trip, we did see a lot of birds during our visit to Hull area. The Hull and Humber banks had large numbers of waders and gulls at low tide and these cute Sanderling along with dozens of Turnstone were everywhere at Bridlington and Hornsea and were comparatively tame.

Exploring the Area Around our Premier Inn

There has been a lot of development in the area around the Premier Inn including The Deep an impressive building housing an Aquarium Visitor attraction.

Birds at Rye Meads RSPB Reserve

Some images from a RPS Nature Group outing to Rye Meads on a very cold frosty day with very limited light.  As usual, the coots were bust squabbling while the Robins followed us around hoping for some disturbed insect life under our feet.

Black-Headed Gulls Miscellany

We didn't visit any bird reserves etc while we were on the Isle of Wight as Sarah didn't bring a long lens but there were plenty of Black-headed Gulls to practise on in all kinds of light and weather conditions!

Sunny Morning at Paxton Pits

After a frosty start, the sun yesterday was pleasantly warming. The Black-headed Gulls entertained us collecting food from the surface of the water together with diving cormorants and lots of ducks. A couple of habitat shots (with Great White Egret) and two 'signs' of Spring - Cormorant with nesting material and a Honey Bee.
