Spring is now about

 It has been three quite different weeks. First we had the snow and ice, then the rain and the floodwaters and now this week, a feeling of Spring in the sunshine. With dryer, sunnier weather, the floodwaters have already started to subside but the "Flood Field" in front of the Sea Wall Hide is still looking great.

The photo below, taken from the Sea Wall Hide, shows only half of the Flood and this last week most days, it been full of around 1200 mixed duck species and several hundred Lapwings, quite an impressive sight. The water-logged surrounding fields of the reserve have also had their share of birds - Curlews, Redshank, Brent Geese, Greylag Geese, to name just a few and yesterday in the sun a few Lapwing were also doing their courtship displays over the marsh. Lastly, the White-fronted Goose flock that last week totaled 850 birds, has this week shrunk to c.140 birds and so many of them have possibly departed for their northern breeding grounds already.

Obviously, we will probably still have some colder, wetter days to come but at the moment, all is looking and feeling good.

  2. They appear to be Pat, with several pairs about now. There will be early Mallard nests very soon.

  3. I can sense your mood is changing too Derek, in tune with the birds. Birdsong is also increasing and the blackbirds are coming over loud and clear.

  4. If you're a regular Windows 10 user, the task of printing and attempting to get a paper caught in a queue can be very annoying. The worst thing is that if you want to cancel the printing command, the text will be totally erased from the computer. As a consequence, print spooler error Windows 10 is defined as a time-consuming operation. Moving on to the second possibility, it may be a printer spooler malfunction, which refers to a service that spools the printing job and gracefully performs all subsequent encounters with the printer. Read our complete post to resolve this issue, whenever if you face this issue then you need to go to Microsoft Bellen to get instant supprt from technicians.
