Birds in flight at NWT Holme Dunes
Today it was rather windy at the coast, there were just a few birds showing in the dunes. A flock of eight Magpies, many Wood Pigeons, four Linnets and then I have found the two beauties below...
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
I have spent some time with this lovely kestrel. She took me on a round trip around the dunes, always choosing to hunt and rest close by.
Here she looked at me as if saying: "This is my best side!"
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta)
It soon started to get dark so I moved nearer to the car park. I sat on the bench for a while and looked over the marshes. I have seen five Little Egrets flying from one creek to another. This egret came quite close, just under the bank on which the main path runs.
I could see that a dog walker was approaching through the marsh.
And the egret flew...
