WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Belfast RSPB Reserve Refurbished

Yesterday I took my Bird Group to the newly refurbished RSPB Reserve in Belfast and these shots are some of the birds we saw there.  Below is a Teal.

Part of the refurbished reserve.

All the Godwits seen in this post are Black tailed.

There were2 Wigeon sleeping and a couple of Shoveler feeding further away.

Shelduck, again mostly sleeping. 

There were also a number of Moorhen and Coot around the reserve.

Female Reed Bunting.  There was over 30 in a flock flying around the reserve.

There were 2 Rabbits past by.

Some of the Bird Group stopping for a coffee break.

This is a new Sand Martin nest site.  The Swift tower will be arriving shortly

Wood Pigeon above and one of hundred of Black headed Gulls below.  

There was also one Mediterranean Gull but too far away to photograph as were a goodly number of Lesser Black backed Gulls.

It was a pity that none of the bird feeders were filled while we were there however some of the group managed to see Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Long Tailed Tit, Blue Tit and Redpoll. Here were also a flock of Starling, several Rook and Magpie.

My Bird Group had an enjoyable morning at the reserve and I hope you enjoyed the birds I managed to photograph.
