Dave McCulley Photography : RSPB Framton Marsh.

Took a drive to Framton marsh this morning and what a great place it is, it seems to have a multitude of habitats all in one reserve.

Plenty of Brent geese about must be over 500 easy they tend to spend their time flying between the lakes and feeding on the fields next to them.

Around the site a lot of Black tailed godwits were feeding away and don't seem that bothered by human presence, allowing me to get a bit closer than usual.

For most of the day the air was filled with the sound of Lapwings and Skylarks, the Skylarks would land no more than a few yards away unfortunately behind the reeds next to the path.

Wigeon must number in the thousands showing around all lakes and forming large flocks, they even attached themselves to the flying Brent geese.

Another great bird although overlooked was showing well today the Meadow Pipit, quite a few landing on the fences and paths allowing a close approach before flying 20 yards or so away.

The only bird of prey I seen today was the Kestrel, however a Marsh Harrier and Merlin had been spotted over the salt marsh.

Other waders around the site included Golden plover, Knot and Redshank.

The Redshank tended to be quite close to the pathways and the Golden plover was well out of range for a photo.

The highlight for me today was the Yellowhammers a great looking bird and these two were quite friendly coming to the feeders next to the visitor centre.
