Penduline Tit at Stodmarsh+ Slav Grebe at Littlebrook

Off to Stodmarsh for the Penduline Tit, only about one hour away, a fairly nice day weather wise.
When we arrive we walk down the boardwalk & see two other birders already there, they point to the tree in front of us & there is the target bird.
It drops down to the reedmace to feed & stays for a good few minutes, we all get some photos of it before it flies off over to another tree it takes an hour to return.

By this time a good many birders were here,so they all get good views of the bird.
We now set off to go on a quick visit to Oare Marsh, it is full of birds,but nothing new to add to our year list. So the next place to go is Cliffe Pools, plenty  on the pools like Pintail, Goldeneye, Pochard,plus many more usual stuff.
We move down to view Flamingo Pool, & pick up a nice Greenshank, thats 2 year ticks today.
On the way home we call in to try for the Slav Grebe.
When we get to Littlebrook lake we find it stright away, not to hard to do that as it is a very small pond.

None of us needed this for a tick, but it was nice to get some photos of a nice bird.
