Photography The Layzee Way: Oare Marshes 24.8.17

Another great start to the day, no wind plenty of sun great conditions, set off along the sea wall pretty quiet apart from the flocks of Godwits flying off out over the estuary.
I could see plenty of warblers flitting about but to far away for pictures.
I rounded the corner by the hide and started up the creek side several flocks of juvenile Goldfinches were in the bushes and flitting about from bush to bush.

I moved up toward them slowly and let them settle before moving a little closer.

These were some of the shots I was rewarded with, fortunately no dog walkers or joggers were about to scare them off.

However that was not to last the dreaded dog walkers began to appear at about 7am followed by the joggers.

Plenty of Sedge Warblers about in and around the bushes and reeds some where happy to pose for a few shots

As the dog walking and jogging hoards had arrived I decided to head back to the car park walking along the sea wall I first heard a Bittern followed by the ping of a Bearded Tit, I planted my tripod and waited, finally I saw a little movement out the corner of my eye and sure enough there they were a couple of juvenile Beardies a little to far away for good shots but a couple are acceptable.
