New Year's Day at Titchwell

 On New Year's Day, ten RPS Nature Group Members, partners and friends spent the day photographing the many species present at Titchwell admid crowds of bird watchers there to start their 2020 new bird lists. The day started overcast with poor light conditions for bird photography but the cloud gradually lifted to give a sunny afternoon with perfect lighting on the beach. I think curlew are may favourite in flight birds but the Oystercatcher came a close second. Lots of waders and ducks to test the camera focusing plus a very obliging Little Egret. Even a glimpse of an Otter but it was so quick as it undulated through the water.

 

Mixed Bag from Strumpshaw Fen

 A few more images from last week's trip to Strumpshaw Fen. There was a large flock of fieldfares and Redwing feeding on the berries and also 3 Waxwings, which we failed to locate. The Snipe and Gulls were more cooperative and the mammals came up trumps with good views of Chinese Water Deer, Otters and Rats
