My birding mate Mike, asked if I wanted to go to Wells next the sea yesterday, as there was a Great Northern Diver and Red necked Grebe "in the chanel".
Truth was.... his wife had the car for the day lol...but I didn't mind an outing.

Long story, short ....both of them had buggered off. But we had an enjoyable stroll and saw 24 bird species, took 484 photos ( Mike had a go with the Sony A1 and enjoyed listening to the silky purr of the motor drive!!!:banghead: ).  The 484 were quickly reduced to 80. Unless there is a requirement for an animation of a bar-tailed godwit scurrying across the mudflats.  I preferred my birds still!  


Anyway here's a few to whet the appetite.
