(Part 2 Birdwatching). More from a walk today from Warsash up the river Hamble to Bursledon. Today’s birdwatching observations on a rather dark and gloomy day
Brent Goose. These small geese are a similar size to a mallard. They have a black head and neck and greyish back, with either a pale or dark belly, depending on the race, most of the birds I see. local to me have a dark belly. I always find them difficult to get a decent photograph of them due to their dark colour on the mud, their eyes seem to disappear! I was quite pleased with these 2 shots despite the dull conditions.
A Meadow Pipit.
Little Egret. This bird was fishing alongside the footpath.
A Curlew;
Redshank.
Many of the birds were a long way off on the mud, a large flock of Dunlin a couple of Shelduck and some gulls.
A male Wigeon.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
You were lucky – lots of birds today. Funny, I thought the first one was a duck, then you said it was a goose, but the size of a duck.
