#Wordless Wednesday.





The Common Greenshank is a medium-sized slim wader with a dark grey back and white underparts. It has green legs and a slightly upturned bill. At this time of year, I regularly see a small number of these birds.








The Curlew is the largest European wading bird, found on estuaries in winter and moors in summer. Look for its down-curved bill,



The Brent Goose is a small, dark goose – of similar size to a Mallard Duck.




This was my last visit before Christmas to our local nature reserve, Titchfield Haven. A couple of hours’ break there today, but the reserve is closed on Christmas Day.

An eider raft is a large group of Eider Ducks that float close together on the sea. These rafts happen in the winter after they finish nesting. {Eider nest in the UK but are much further north than here} They stay close together to find food like shellfish and crustaceans by diving into the water

Fishing with no luck!
