RSPB Old Moor 20/5/13

Warning this blog contains lots of Black Headed Gulls,

it was about the only thing i shot all day,well 3 hours anyway.

The garden hide had less action than my own garden,very quiet.

Did visit a lot of the hides but the path to the reed bed hides were closed,not exactly sure why maybe the bittern was nesting.

All shots from the Field Pool West Hide.

Was mainly practicing my flying shots.

 This little fellow (Little Grebe) was being dive bombed by the Gull.

Family outing for some Canada Geese.

Perfect form from a Black Headed Gull.

Long Tailed Tit wasn't really set up or expecting this

 but managed to snap a shot before it took off.

Again Thanks for looking.

Cheers al.
