mission accomplished

Been over to barking bay most nights after work looking for the 1st wheatears of the year, finally struck gold this afternoon. arrived about 9 with crap weather and rain on the way. Had a good walk round with no wheatears or anything else for that matter and being soaking wet i called it a day and headed back to the car.Walking along the foreshore i got level with the big spoil heap when a bird flew across me flashing its white-arse as it went .i watched it land  and started to take some record shots when i saw 2 more fly past 1landed on the pipe the other dropped down out of site in the grass.





other highlights were 50 blackwits 4 oystercatchers on the mud and 4 canada geese on the little pond by the middle ditch.

  1. I guess that means Spring is here!! The Madison, Florida, bird watching scene has been busy for the last couple of weeks. I love this time of the year!
