First sightings

I thought I would bring you up to date with the "birding" I have done today. I only spent about an hour out and about and went to the locations below - 


The X shows where the field is flooded and at this location, between the flooded field and the river I saw - 

Blue Tit
Great Tit
Long Tailed Tits (2)
Shelduck
Lapwing
Grey Wagtails (2)
Mute Swans (2)
Mallards (2)
Garden Warbler

I then moved to the lake/pond near the Y and there saw - 

Lapwings (3)
Coots (2)
Mallards (2)
Tufted Ducks (5)
Unidentified Swan - It was asleep so I couldn't see it's head to work out which type of Swan it was.

When I came home a Grey Heron landed in the back garden trying to get to next door's pond! Spectacular sight close up but I did give hubby a heart attack when I squealed with excitement at seeing it land!

I'll keep you posted!
