Swillington Ings

 Sunday 30th October a.m.

A cloudy morning with grey skies and a temperature of 12°C at Swillington Ings making any Photography very difficult.  I was soon rewarded with an Osprey which came close over Astley Lake, others here were Stonechat, Cormorant, Lapwing and Great Crested Grebe.  As I moved around the reserve there were c300 Golden Plover flying above the Reedbeds, a Great White Egret flew across in the distance as did a Red Kite.  Others seen were Kestrel, Grey Heron, Shoveler, Snipe, Pochard, Gadwall and Teal.
