You Never See 'Em All - Part V

 All Good Things must come to an end as is the case with Bad Things, which always seem much longer in going, but to wake up to more Good News, who's complaining?

BAIRD'S SANDPIPER
and for simplicities sake a vagrant from the America's. Not at all ideal viewing conditions also limited by distance, so thank heavens for Dave's telescope, and have taken the opportunity of fielding a borrowed shots to emphisise the matter.

A little more photo and video worthy here were the

GREAT WHITE EGRETs

both

showy
and

mostly active but with little else around we decided to search some of the channels flowing into the

RIVER HUMBER
(Oil Rig Supply Vessel)
Our first encounter was with a couple of

BLACK-TAILED GODWIT
also showed themselves as did a first for the trip

were represented by no fewer than

were kept seperated by both his

WADING BIRDs

Leaving the Sun to set behind the River we returned just at the very moment the anglers
landed a small

PERCH
to our delight, but it was not yet over as driving towards the main road this

WHITE PEASANT

crossed our track allowing for both

Clicks and Clips,
What a Trip to a Splendid, Splendid County!!

It would seem that some had kindly reacted to our plea by disceminating the fact that we are back in business with a most welcome spike of HITs this morning, there is a drink awaiting you at the Red Lion Bristol with THANKS ONCE AGAIN!
