Purple Heron - St Marys

Fortunately I was two minutes away from Newford Duck Pond when the Purple Heron decided to drop into a fallow weedy field! I got there in time to watch it stride slowly through the field towards us, a small gathering of observers, before it took flight.

Still a few more to upload, then I might get up to date.  They can wait until tomorrow.


More from October 2013

And more... Yellow-browed, Wood Pigeon, Arctic Warbler,

May 2013 - the Dusky Thrush in Kent!

Unbelievably, there is a one-day only Dusky Thrush at Margate Cemetery which shows well to all who make it there that day!  Still working on a painting to do justice to this amazing bird.
