What's showing at RSPB Fowlmere? Not the species that I wanted - like water Vole. Everyone else seems to be seeing them regularly but last Tuesday, after an hour and a half quietly walking up and down the chalk stream path, not a sign.

Still, my time on the reserve was not totally wasted with a small herd of Fallow Deer crossing the channel from Drewer Hide. First one showing and then jumping across

follwed by  the white hart

and what could be an immature.

I finally ended up, as usual, in Reebed Hide.The Marsh Harriers were both showing, on and off, but at least I manged a half-decent shot of the female this time.

So, good and not-so-good but isn't that the story of bird photography at the moment. Let's hope there is more activity from the summer migrants.
