showed itself, undulating towards us through the woods. Our first sighting this year. Bet we will find them everywhere from now on.
We hit Rufford Hide for a while, watching Mallards, a pair of Shoveler and few Shelduck. A Grey Heron opposite us was looking for Sunday lunch but whatever it was stalking managed to live another day.
Not much to see in the woods around The Hollow but a chirpy Robin kept us company for a while and we watched a Blue Tit nest building in one of the boxes. The feeder station was relatively quiet apart from a few Dunnock (grey/brown and hardly ever mentioned but I love them) and a Song Thrush popped onto the table for a quick look at the menu!
On to the visitor centre and the Lancaster Hide where a Cock Pheasant was dining on the seed laid out on the platform, as were a number of Reed Bunting. Out on the water a single Lapwing was disturbed by Canada Geese fighting over territorial mating ground.
Time for Lunch, and I couldn't help hoping that I would get luckier than that Heron!

"What, no worms?" Song Thrush at feeding station
