Hayle Estuary and Ryan's field yesterday




This colourful female Kingfisher was showing quite well on Ryans field this morning and it managed to arrive with a little sunshine to bring out its colours.




A Little Egret produced a nice rippled silhouette as it fished between the reeds in the water between Ryan's field hide and the causeway and it caught a nice big shrimp for its breakfast




On the causeway several Lapwing were bathing  at the waters edge and feeding on the mudflats and a few filtered rays of the sun just about managed to highlight their iridescent red and green flight feathers



The very vocal Black headed gulls always create an interest with their surface diving behaviour




This ever present Curlew seemed like a big bird fishing in a very small pond but it came away with a
beak full of muddy worm which it seemed pleased to toss down its throat,  Each to their own !!
