Mink & Water Rail

Evidence of mink and water rail observed this afternoon, residing on Lindley Wood Reservoir, west of road bridge on North bank. Also recorded were at least 7 common snipe, and 7 Whooper Swans, amongst other species.

Apologies for poor quality pictures but this was the best I could achieve from the opposite bank.

Great Grey Shrike

Here is an interesting photo taken in Lanzarote, last week. Just happened to be in the right pace at the right time. Lizard breast for lunch anyone?
