Patch ticks.

I went to scan the sea in the hope of picking up another tick or two for the patchwork challenge. Things will turn up when they are ready but there are birds starting to appear now with the odd Meadow Pipit to be seen and my first Shelduck on the patch. The Shelduck was too far away for a photo so a Mallard will have to do for now!

Male Hen Harriers don't get seen too often but just to prove they do pass by occasionally...look at that stunner!

I managed to pick up my first Greenfinch and Treecreeper for the year while getting some shots of a tame Grey Heron.
