The heron is back.... with lovely new slender legs....

and the moorhens are enjoying the mud flats....

And hanging out together in the hedgerow by the pool today....

Mr Bullfinch (very flash) .....

and Mrs Bullfinch (not so flash) ....

Teal on the pool (little duck relatives with 'go faster' eye stripes) ...

and a simple but beautiful Meadow Pipit .....

Today I spotted my elusive friend, the Snipe, (usually only seen flying off erratically) ...

And there is snow on Bredon ... Brrr

Wow, a lot of reed cutting has gone on ....

but change brings opportunity ...

Wren wars rage on the reed stack ....

A Pied Wagtail enjoys the marshlands ...

But the Common Reed still stands tall and beautiful ...

Who pulled the plug out?!  The water has gone out of my pool!!...

But it doesn't bother this bluetit enjoying the bullrushes....

or this Kingfisher, checking out the pool edge....
