GREAT BLUE HERON returns to Lower Moors

The GREAT BLUE HERON showed superbly at Lower Moors throughout the day

 This afternoon I dropped the taxi off at the garage to have new brakes fitted. It was going to take a good two hours for the job to be done. During that time, I made the short walk to Lower Moors to see the GREAT BLUE HERON. For over an hour we had amazing views in front of both hides as it moved around the scrape. After an hour, it flew off towards to Old Town Bay only to return again a few minutes later and continue to fish. It seems to have settled down at Lower Moors and hopefully it will stick around this area instead of nipping off and favoring Bryher. The female Blue-headed Wagtail that I got two days ago at Porth Hellick also showed well with 2 Snipe.

 

This might not happen again!

This male Zebra Finch must of felt good being out of a cage at Pelistry. It was first seen last week at Bar Point
