Juvenile ringed plover on the moors today. It was hanging around with a Juvenile dotterel. I used an @UKNikon 600mm and 2x to isolate the bird. @Natures_Voice

Wonderful waders! This tiny grey phalarope was bobbing like a cork in the rough waters of Covenham reservoir showing how well it is adapted for a winter in the vast oceans. @BirdGuides @Natures_Voice @Lincsbirding

Ugly duckling? Never! This handsome little mallard was enjoying the late afternoon sunshine intrigued by all the attention being given to the Margrove pectoral sandpiper. @Natures_Voice @UKNikon

Who ate all the flies? A rather portly marsh tit takes flight. A good number of these present in the Howardian Hills woodland. @UKNikon
