Grafham Water, 26th July 2023

A better day weather wise so a shortish trip up to Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire to see what was about and I just concentrated on the dam area. There were three Common Sandpipers present but very easily spooked and I only managed a couple of shots.

As to be expected Pied Wagtails were common on the dam edge with quite a few juvenile birds about and this fine adult.

A few Yellow Wagtails were also present and I am sure numbers will build up in the next few weeks. I could not get any shots of the adult male but managed a couple of this juvenile.

It was great to see a lot of Swallows firstly near the farm and later up by the walkway to the tower just off the dam. Not sure if they had bred there but they were certainly congregating there and enjoying the sun.

Time to try and catch a few in flight! Lots of misses as they either came in too close or were too distant. Here are three of my better efforts.

But the smartest bird of the day, and much more confiding than the Common Sandpiper was this juvenile Little-ringed Plover.

And a short video clip to end with.
Always a good place for a visit!
