I'm sure your last paragraph is somethin...Jan,<br /><br />I'm sure your last paragraph is something we all say at some time - we don't get things like Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Coal or Marsh Tits on Sheppey at all, which other people find just as normal as my Avocets. They were a lovely sight though, all packed into one pool on the saltings and at breeding time their chicks look really funny as small balls of fluff on long legs.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367416329197066280.post-32251553850952263862011-03-07T12:43:50.983+00:002011-03-07T12:43:50.983+00:00Lovely Springlike photos!

Blue skies and sunshine make such a difference to us all Derek, I'm glad you have some at last, we do too :)<br /><br />Standing in the bitter cold for your count was rewarded with some good numbers of birds which I struggle to find just one of and in some cases never see at all. The Avocet is just one bird I have never seen but would love to.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.com
