Venus Pool Nature Reserve activity
There was a lot of activity at the reserve on Monday 5th March and as the birds enjoyed the Spring sunshine. There were large numbers of Lapwing and Black-headed Gulls. Ducks were well represented by Mallard, Shelduck, Teal, Wigeon and a handful of Shoveler. Three species of Waders were to be seen - Curlew, Oystercatcher and a pair of Green Sandpiper. The light was superb for watchers and photographers alike being directly behind the hides and devoid of any interfering haze. The birds were also active: a large flock of Lapwing is always an impressive spectacle, Curlew were bathing and preening, Shelduck posturing, flocks of Linnet coming in to drink, and Oystercatchers adding a little "edge" to the proceedings - sort of noisy neighbours.
