Minsmere

Had a couple of hours at Minsmere starting with having lunch but popping to the mound to see a Drake and Red Headed Smew on the pool.
After lunch i went back for some pics but the birds had gone. Nipped to the wildlife lookout for a Great White Egret but as i arrived the 2 Smew were n the pool as was the egret but they both took off drat would have been great pics too.

I returned to the mound where the 2 Smew had now returned.

 Whilst watching the Smew the Great White Egret flew back in too.

Back at the Visitor centre feeders i took some pics of the common stuff.

Finished at Island Mere but it was very quiet. The Marsh Harriers were showing quiet well with 6 in the air at once.
