Family is dropping by tomorrow (FYI, vacuuming and mopping from a walker is not much fun). They want to see birds, so I guess I will find out if birding from a walker is worth the effort. The red headed woodpecker dropped by to say hello. #birds#birding#birdsofmastodon#birdphotography#nature#HoosierMast#woodpecker
Sometimes you just get lucky. This little yellow warbler literally landed in front of us, and is nicely highlighted by the sun just behind and to the right.
I was walking down a track that was enclosed by reeds on both sides. I have never heard so much song from Sedge Warblers in my life. There were loads of them (and Reed Warblers). They just clung to the reeds in the wind and sang. I was about 10ft away from this one, it did not mind me being there at all.
Ever wanted to know what a baby Avocet looks like? Well you are in luck, here is one of many seen today (albeit quite a distance from where I took the picture)
Just back from Frampton Marsh RSPB. Got quite a few photos to work through, but while I am doing that, here is a lifer for me, a Pied Avocet in flight. [Cropped vertical axis to allow upload to Mastodon]
