Spent an enjoyable time walking around the reserve yesterday, despite dodging rain showers, puddles and mud - especially on the path down to the lagoon. Highlights were mallard, moorhen and little grebe all out on the lagoon along with a coot sitting on a nest on the edge of the reed-bed. Then, just below the weir, an adult dipper feeding a young one. Incredible to see the adult diving into the water and popping back up only inches from where it went down - some real strength not to get swept off downstream with the water as high and as fast-flowing as it was.
I've enjoyed coming down to the reserve for a year or more now to watch the birds and spend time behind my camera. Finally thought I should join the group - hence the title for this post. Enjoy the photographs below which were taken over the past autumn and winter:
