Stithians Today

Some good lighting for photography has enabled some nice images of the local birds. (feathered type) No rarities but it would of been a shame not to use the available light after our poor weather of late. One note, I did see my first KingFisher at Stithians as it flew past the main hide window about 4ft away, great sight. No photo though! Ok onto todays images taken at the Golden Lion, Southern Cut off and Main hides. Just confirmed by Steve Rogers, that the Wigeon in the last image is thought to be an American Wigeon hybrid.

Lovely set Bob. Good catch by the Little Grebe; and yourself.
Favourite for me, the Jay. Love the colours of these birds.
