Friday 4th July 2014

A relatively quiet week, starting with a hushed-up trip to see some Black-necked Grebes that had just hatched one chick. Suffice to say that the location is strictly under wraps because there are signs that the pair are already looking for a second brood - and is is a Schedule 1 bird.

Anyway, an excellent opportunity and I was pleased with the replica rolex watches shots.

Yesterday, I decided to go to Ouse Washes RSPB for the first ever sighting of a family of Ring-necked Parakeets in Cambridgeshire. There have been reports during the winter of one being seen around Cambridge but this is an odd place for them to breed.

Ring-necked Parakeets are very distictive by their raucous call and, frustratingly, I could hear them in a paddock over a high hedge but never saw one.

Heading towards the WWT reserve at Welney, the road goes through a small hamlet called Tipps End. It is right on the borders of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk and I cannot find out which county it is in so i have put it in Cambs. If I am wrong, someone will soon let me know.

As I drove though, I noticed feverish activity by some House Martins so I stopped to see and they were collecting mud from a puddle by the roadside. Can never resist an opportunity for some photos.

With the cloud setting in and getting windy, I made my way home but, just outside Pymore village, on a pile of soil close to the road, a Lapwing was showing. I took some shots from the road but, despite being a flighty species (in my experience) it showed no signs of moving so I pulled the car to within 30 feet and it stayed put providing me with some full frame shots.

It then beacme apparent why it stayed as, after a while, this little chap appeared.

Overall a very fruitful week.
