Heron eating Weasel at Harrold

Yum, yum! This Heron was spending quite a lot of time dunking this Weasel into the water and shaking it. I'm sure the Weasel was long dead but it was still holding it like this when I stopped watching it after 10 minutes.

Black-necked Grebes

Black-necked Grebes, Harrold & Odell CP, 15th August 2010. Not a bad reward for doing Richard Bashfords WeBS count for him!

Redstart and Gypo goslings

Second time Egyptian Geese have bred at Harrold - maybe these ones will survive - these must be a few days old.
A surprise find at Radwell. Although this bird was singing, it is clearly a passage migrant and my first singing Bedfordshire Redstart since the early 1990s.

No idea

At first, this looked like a strange female Tufted Duck. I got closer and it looked a bit like a Scaup crossed with a juv Common Scoter. No wing bar, bill longer and thinner than Tufted Duck, about the same size.

Goosander at Harrold

Common Scoter at Harrold-Odell CP

After a rather disappointing visit last week, Harrold comes up trumps with this young female Common Scoter.

Red-crested Pochards at Harrold

About time one or two of these turned up this autumn.Sunrise this morning over Harrold-Odell CP. The nearest two blobs are Pinky and Perky the Egyptian Geese.
