Today I spent a pleasant, if cool couple of hours at the lake watching the nesting coot's, I just sat there
camera in hand for a solid 2 hours, & by doing so I actually saw a lot more than I usually do, after about 20 mins a lot of the birds became accustomed to my presence so much so that a moor-hen started a courtship display, bowing - raising its wings & flashing its white tail feathers, I don't know if its the male or female that displays but it was nice to watch anyway.
A chaffinch settled in the branches above the coot's nest allowing me chance to grab a couple of shots before he disappeared into the undergrowth, the coot's are still nest building, fetching twigs & dry leaves- ah nothing like comfort. After leaving the side of the lake I spotted what I thought was a Treecreper until it ran down the tree which meant it could only be a nuthatch, by now it had clouded over making photographing it even more difficult .
I hope you have enjoyed your visit
come back soon
