Just waiting patiently

Have finally got around to posting some new photos as many of you have been asking for some.  I had been waiting for something a bit different but what with the weather and the lack of anything new this was not to be.   So far I've missed most things of interest this year including yesterdays brief visit by a spoonbill but hopefully that is about to change over the next few weeks.  These photos were taken in the last few weeks and mostly from Black Hole Marsh apart from this sparrowhawk which was in front of Seaton Marsh hide

and one of 2 shovelers on Seaton Marshes

This pair of  oyster catchers were flying up and down the river last week

and these wigeon were taken from the tower hide

while this gadwall has been present on Seaton marshes for a week or so

This heron held this pose for sometime!

One of the few teal still on Black hole marsh

and a little egret on its sixth fish of the afternoon

and another meal! 

and finally these 2 beautiful med gulls were on the estuary last week entertaining us with their displaying, flying and constant calling to each other.
