It'll Be A Good Day

 It was a good day, or morning anyway.

Greenshank, Redshank, 4 Snipe, Kestrel, 2 Marsh Harrier, 2+ Hobby, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Whitethroat, Water Rail, 5 Curlew and a possible Spotted Redshank to finish off the return journey of the walk. Also 3 Common Blue butterflies, 6 Speckled Wood, dozens of Migrant Hawker dragonflies and a few beetles still to be id'd.

The undoubted highlight of the morning was a cream crown Marsh Harrier coming low over my head, I managed a few shots...
