Dipper



Pied Flycatcher

Marsh Tit

Up early as we are going to the fantastic RSPB reserve at Dinas a favorite place of us all. We get there nice and early only to see Brian & Sue sitting in the car park and as usual Brian has got a bird for us to get on straight away a nice Pied Flycatcher, We saw a lot more as we walked round by the river.It's a nice day for a change as it is nearly alway's raining when we come here. Robert set's up with his camera to wait for the Dipper's to come to him, not to long a wait as they fly up & down here and rest on the large bolder's which are a feature of this wonderful place. we all get great view's, not so many  here today which is not the norm. Brian & Sue are sitting on the boardwalk when they call a Tree pipit, I was nearer than Jimmy and got on it quick Jimmy got to us just in time to get a view  which was good as he & I needed it for a lifer, Brian already had it on he's list ,but he is alway's happy to spot it for us. We got Treecreeper in the same spot plus Nuthatch.Sue then started to shine by calling a great view of Redstart for the boy's to see but I missed it.We have had a long time here so it is time to head back to the car as we have a five hour drive home to Essex as our break is over, If  Brian was driving it would only take four hour's to get home.As we get near the car we have a look around the picnic area and I pick out a Redstart in the thicket, It pop's out on to the fence to give me a really good sighting. There is also a Marsh Tit coming to the bird table in the picnic area. So a good end to the vist. It's off home now so it's good-bye to Brian & Sue and to wish them a good time on the rest of their anniversary holiday.
