Widewater Nature Reserve, Shoreham Beach: Teal, Little Grebe, Black-headed Gulls, Little Egret, Mallard, Swan, Redshank

There was a good mix of birds today at Widewater: a Herring Gull above for example.
 And a Redshank and Little Egret.





Black-headed Gulls in transition from winter to summer plumage.
There was a Little Grebe above!
 A Little Grebe above, followed by a female Teal.
 Teal are such an attractive little duck.  It is a pity that they can be hunted in autumn and winter.

Bullfinch today



I hope that it sticks to ornamental cherry buds and leaves my fruit trees and bushes alone.  Anyway what a lovely bird to see in a domestic garden.
