A trip down to saltholme was not a wasted journey,the avocet are back in force.We seen five, but were told there is eighteen in all,when we were there a little ringed plover showed up,that was a bonus for me as it been a while since iv seen one,
A visit to the RSPB centre was very good.A good chin wag with the staff there was pleasant and very friendly, plenty to see,in the shop, and a fare bit on the reserve its self.got some good shots of the black tailed godwit there playing with a leaf.The changing of the gogwits plumage is now in progress and its looking good.
Onto dorman's pool to see if we can catch the great white egret,guess what bluddy missed it.story of my life,not to worry though got to see thirteen great crested grebe there,they all seemed to be paired off.
I am posting the shot of the little ringed plover because it the first time I have had the chance to photograph one,sorry its not a very good shot but what the hell its a lovely bird,and I was pleased to see it.

A small collection of photos of our local birds
Most of these birds were photographed in the north east area.
the glossy ibis
my fist sighting of the glossy ibis was a good one, there it was right in front of the window,there was at least 15 people taking shots of it,must be the most photographed bird in the north east
and rightly so.
birds of pray
most of these birds were photographed in captivity,the ones with out names are not identified as yet.

Great to see the LRP back. Three were about on Sunday at Back Saltholme, but there were a pair that used the newly refurbished island on the Saline Lagoon last year.
thanks for that james
