These first ones were taken at Venus Pool, mostly from the old Memorial Hide.
Some Peregrines...
Water Rail often show very well close to the hide at Chelmarsh.
In June of last year a Wood Sandpiper spent a few days at Chelmarsh.
Tawny Owls have been breeding in some old trees near my home for many years. One afternoon in April the two youngsters were enjoying some sun.
A Firecrest was present on the Wrekin for a few weeks in Nov/Dec. It was difficult to even catch a glimpse of this bird, so I was very pleased to get a record shot of it on 8 November.
A large group of Whooper, Mute and Bewick's Swans spent last winter at Whitemoor Haye.
Another VP Kingfisher posing nicely in front of the main hide.
This gorgeous Mandarin Duck has spent the past few winters in Bridgnorth but always leaves every spring, presumably downstream to the brooks in the Highley area to breed. More Mandarin can usually be seen on the river by walking a few miles either way of the town.
That's all from the archives! Thanks for reading. The next posts will be of more recent days out.
