On friday pm I went to Bough Beech with Dave as I had a hospital appointment in the morning and dentist at 2.15 so I had the day off work! the pictures above of Rabbit was at Bough Beech and the Gull picture was taken on our washing line post in the back garden, I believe it to be a Herring Gull as it has pink legs? I am sure Warren will correct me if I am mistaken....hopefully!

Lapwing
Mallard
Coot

  2. Twenty nine species in not much more than an hour! That is really good.
