It seems to have been a long week, long enough that I only got out this morning, too knackered and saving my energy for tomorrow. I birded the Diamonte Wetlands this morning, the first bird I saw was the long-staying White-tailed Kite. Typically it never came very close and the light was poor but I tried to photograph it anyway, it is the grey blob below!
At the west end of the wetlands is a nice little lake (with no parking) so I made my way there, scope in hand and getting odd looks from locals. The lake had the same Tundra Swan from a few days ago and lots of Brewer’s Blackbirds which appear to be solar powered, they never stand still. While there the Coyotes emerged from the marsh a good 150 yards away, record shot below.
Tomorrow I’m very much out and about so expect more crappy photos in the next post.
