Apparently it’s #SuperbOwl time again.
Well, it’d be rude not to…

While helping with the #winter #nestbox clear out at #WWTCastleEspie this morning we found a couple of #nests with single #eggs but also this sad discovery; an #abandoned #Bluetit nest with six eggs 
Hopefully they’ll have better luck this year

A lovely day for a wander around the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie.

A small #bird with a big #fish.
This #LittleGrebe somehow managed to catch a #Rudd in the Limestone lake at #WWTCastleEspie but, no matter how much it tried, it couldn’t manoeuvre it into a position to swallow it.
It was fun watching it try, though.

A pair of #stonechats on the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie this morning.

Apparently this is called Rosecomb mutation - when the gills become visible in an upside down structure above the fungal cap - but I reckon it’s a very small swan on a very small mushroom
