Great set of photos, as usual, there Eric.
It certainly does look like a good place to visit.
Thanks for putting in the 'bird' interest as well Eric.
The lack of birds when you took those shots from the hide are what Kathy would call a
Kit-Kat Moment.
If you remember the British TV advert where a guy is set up with his camera to get some photos of Panda Bears, watches for ages and they're nowhere to be seen. They're inside their hut.
He then sits down to have his
Kit-Kat with his back to the Panda enclosure. Suddenly they appear from the hut doing all sorts of acrobatics on roller-skates that the guy doesn't see. Then by the time he finishes and turns round to his camera again they've disappeared into the hut.
We can relate to that, as it's happened to us a few times recently. We go regularly to a new RSPB Reserve near to us that opened this year, and we hear of migrants that have been in and gone again on days we weren't there, or when we were in a different hide at the time. Ho-hum.
