Felt like Spring had arrived....
A great morning out in almost unbroken sunshine, until midday when it became overcast and cooler.
I had to check the entire length of the fence in one of the grazing fields this morning, but not before a quick sea watch which produced few birds but real quality in the form of 50+ common Scoter and three Great Northern Divers....

| I never said they were close, although this one was feeding in the surf |
The fence was fine and I continued along the beach in total isolation except for the continuous sound of Skylarks singing, along with Dunnocks, Robins and Reed Buntings all feeling the urge.
 |
| Skylark, this one just kept on singing |
The reserve is important for many different groups of animals and plants so there is always something to see I cannot always name the individuals at the time as I cannot carry a book for each and every subject, sometimes its a case of looking information up at home.

Badger latrine, the badgers are very active at the moment,
they will have very young cubs in the sett

| an assemblage of Lichens, but no idea which ones yet!! |
The weather this week is a "false start", its turning colder and more unsettled, but it won't stop the ducks from getting on with breeding.
 |
| Mallard, I think she's not quacking to him! |
We are hoping to give the ground nesting birds a bit of a better chance this year, but I can't go into too much until our approach is confirmed, but fingers crossed....
