Early morning walk

Something I have wanted to do for a while now is get up early and get out walking.

This morning I did just that, although when I say early I am only talking 7 am which for me on a Sunday is not only early its unheard of :)

The plan was to head for Mere Sands Wood first which was unfortunately locked up, so we headed to Marshside (RSPB site) , the following where taken at Marshside and are things which caught my eye.


And finally from Marshside a bird, that's right I know its been a while, this Wren came in close along the path between hides, which made the early start worthwhile.

Also seen at Marshside this morning where 8 Snipe, 4 Wigeon, 12 Golden Plover, 80+ Godwit all out of camera range.

The final shot was from Mere Sands and just stood out, birds seen here where 4 Nuthatch (all together), Various Warblers and your usual Tits and Chaffinch.

Photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm

It realy is the best time of day to be out and I can fully understand why people do it daily.

Hope you liked the pics.
