Blacktoft excels itself!

An afternoon trip out to Blacktoft to see if the spoonbills were nice and close at Marshland... Spoonbill There were four of them! But right over the far side from the hide. Two left within minutes of my arrival - the other two stayed all afternoon. They weren't quite as far away as this chap. Spoonbill Can't be many spoonbill/bearded tit photos!! Bearded Tits ...or spoonbill/spotted redshank photos! Spoonbill The owl box had faces peering out. Barn Owl Anyway, here are some nice spoonbill images. Spoonbill Spoonbill
