The joys of Spring at Venus Pool Reserve

A gorgeous Spring afternoon at Venus Pool Reserve with lots of bird activity and the most wonderful light for photography. A pair of Oystercatcher were noisily active and busy irritating the rather more sedate Curlew; Lapwing really justified their Green Plover status as they bathed in the Spring sunshine and a displaying Shelduck couple affirmed their bonds. Other than those already mentioned, there was a decent range of water species including Green Sandpiper, a pair of Snipe, Grey Heron, Teal, Wigeon, Shoveler, Mallard, Coot, Moorhen, Mute Swan and Black-headed Gull.
