Spoonbills, Martin Mere


Another great day at Martin Mere, the highlights for me being these two adult spoonbills on the pond outside the United Utilities hide. I can't recall ever seeing anything of note on this pond previously and it was great to see that the hide is open again after being closed over last winter due to essential repair work. This is a hide that can give good views of geese on Plover field and is a big loss if it's not open. 

Also from this hide, the longhorns are now on Plover field with their accompanying cattle egrets, plus some nice views of marsh harriers. 





Brimstone, one of a number of nice butterflies on the wing at the moment.
