RSPB Old Moor

Last weekend we spent a few hours down at RSPB Old Moor, checking out the brand new photography hide for the first time. This little Wren also dropping to check out the new facilities.

 

 Not too far away was this Great Spotted Woodpecker getting stuck in.

 

Down at Wath Ings a few Woodpigeon were flying about and a couple came past the hide close enough for some flight shot practice.

 

Not too far away from the hide were quite a few Teal and Widgeon.

 

The best sight of the day was thousands of Lapwings and Golder Plover taking to the air, wonder what could have spooked them?

 

Maybe this Sparrowhawk that came swooping in had something to do with it!
