Oare Marshes 26.2.19

Was a beautiful calm morning I arrived around 0700 just after sunrise, the tide had turned and was on the way out.
I had come to hopefully get some Bearded Tit pictures, as these are one of the many birds on my to get list.
I have seen them before but never managed to get what I term to be a good shot let the hunt begin.

I took my usual route from the car park up onto the seawall and headed off into the sun towards the hide, very quiet not a lot going on at all.

Greylag Goose heading out to find some grazing.

I walked up along the creek wall towards the sluice gate absolutely nothing of note, I initially headed up the creek but saw nothing of interest except this beauty, not my normal subject but such a majestic beast.

I then sat and had a coffee and then wandered back towards the road where I came across a couple of Blue Tits feeding on Bull rushes the light was spot on.

 Not the tits I was after but a nice find, I reversed my route and started to head back towards the car park and spotted a Reed Bunting doing exactly what their name suggests feeding on the reeds.

All in all a very quiet morning but a very pleasant morning to be out on a wander.
