RSPB Titchwell Marsh.

Headed to Titchwell late morning after deciding where to go. The drive was horrendous taking nearly 4 hours from Peterborough, must have been everybody heading to the beaches.
I did manage to see what I went for and spotted the the Spoonbills that had been reported, they were at a distance I managed to count 4 but sure another 2 were at the back of the island.

A summer plumage Ruff came quite close to one of the hides before flying of behind another island.


Plenty about today including a male Marsh harrier hunting over the reed beds, Avocets are in good numbers, but a gent was telling me that they had a bad breeding season here and are not sure why.



A lone Curlew was present, not seen many over the last few months and always a single.


Good numbers of Black Tailed Godwit around today also looking great in the summer plumage.



The insects also caught my eye today, never paid much attention before but had fun trying to get photos of them.

Speckled Wood.

Meadow Brown.

Red Admiral. 

Common Blue Damselfly.

Broad-Bodied Chaser.

Red-Veined Darter.
