Birds at Hersey Nature Reserve

If you have been following my blog for a while you will remember I visited Hersey Nature Reserve before and if you wish to see how different my finds were on the 19 September and 10 December, you can find them in archives under those months.  Although there were not many birds on this occasion, it gave me the opportunity to really study the lone Lapwing.



Shelduck



Coot












Just look at my 'bubbly wrapped' feet!!

There was one more species of bird I found at Hersey Nature Reserve which I was very excited about and I wonder can you guess which species it is?  I will give you a clue!  I have seen it before at Hersey.

Thank you for visiting and look in tomorrow to see if your guess is correct.

Many thanks for leaving comments on any of my blog.
