Lackford Lakes on Rainy Day

 We spent sunday at Lackford Lakes - it was mainly overcast with some rain but the birds didn't seem too put off - a Little Grebe gave us a dancing display. The young Blackheaded gulls had a lot to learn on the art of collecting insects from the surface of the water - they mainly crash landed.

Little Grebe Dance

This little grebe kept us well entertained at Lackford Lakes today practising its dance. We didn't see a partner but perhaps she is busy sitting on eggs. Video made using Photoshop sequencing module.

Rye Meads

I visited Rye Meads RSPB REserve today. After early rain, the sun broke through and gave lovely lighting on the Tufted Ducks, Teal, Green Sandpiper and Little Grebes.


The Tufted Ducks demonstrated how synchromised diving should be done. The action shots of Grebe displaying, Shoveller taking off and Coot aggression didn't quite work but enjoyed trying the shots.
