From Sussex but also visit surrounding counties and occasional forays further afield, here for all things Bird and Wildlife related.
Lovely day at Elmley yesterday with a few highlights being an Osprey, the juvenile Red Footed Falcon, 1st Brambling of the season, and a couple of Wheatear down by the swale. Cattle Egret showed well from the entrance track also.

It was sleeping most of the time but did wake up a short time allowing me to try and get a few digiscoped images. My first LEO in Sussex
