Oare Marshes 16.4.18

First day out for ages, beautiful sunny morning arrived at Oare  about 0700 bit late really but hey ho.

Overall pretty quiet walked along the sea wall and up the estuary, first decent spot was a Peacock Butterfly on Hawthorn blossom, kit for today is the Canon 7dmk2 with my Sigma 150-600 Sport.

It just sat there displaying those big scary eyes, I couldn't resist a shot of it.

Shortly after that a few bearded Tits put in an appearance but they just wouldn't sit nicely, just couldn't get a good clean shot, the best I could do was this one.

Plenty of Sedge Warbler activity again getting a clean shot was the issue, it was just one of those days where the birds just didn't quite perch in the right spot, this Sedge Warbler I watched for 20 minutes it was displaying and singing using the same bush, it would fly up into the air hover and dive down into the base of the bush, then work its way back towards the top.

Again it never sat in the right spot clear of twigs and shadows !

None the less an enjoyable walk round Oare.
