The waiting game

I've tried and failed several times this year to add Little Bittern to my year list but finally succeeded by sitting and staring at a reedbed where they are known to breed for two hours until one eventually relocated from one section of the reedbed to another, allowing me just a 10-second view of it in flight.  Thankfully, this Scarlet Darter was a bit more co-operative.


Other than that, the never-ending wet weather continues unabated so I've done very little else and am just waiting for the autumn migration to get going and bring me some more species to add to my list.

BE #212 (Little Bittern)
BRU #110
