A Godwit and a Redshank






A couple of obliging waders in their winter 'drabness' from my recent trip to the Norfolk coast. The birds seem a lot more 'confiding' at Titchwell than they do at other sites. Redshank normally fly off at the slightest hint of anything and Godwits tend to follow pretty quickly, but here they were quite happy feeding quite closely to the coast path.

On reflection



My computer has been down for a week and I have felt almost at a loose end! It is now back in working order (for the time being) and I am trying to catch up with various things that I am sure weren`t that important, but with the computer age have become so vital as to be worrying! I have not been idle on the birding front, although it still seems to be extremely quiet on the local scene and will endeavour to post some of my photos in due course. For the time being I hope this digiscoped image of a balancing Redshank (with a Dunlin in close attendance) is as pleasing on the eye to you as it is to me.
