We arrived at Burton Marsh to find it awash with lovely warm Spring sunshine and alive to the sounds of bird song,an exciting start was made even better by the views of good numbers of Mute Swan,Canada and Greylag Geese,Wigeon and Teal.
A stunning male Garganey was soon spotted his distinctive white eyeflash standing out in the sunlight,a seriously smart bird and one we were delighted to see again!

After a busy day spent in the garden we decided to give our backs a rest and stretch our legs with a late afternoon walk at Marbury.Walking through the gates and down the old mansion house drive we saw Goldcrests,Chaffinches and Long Tailed Tits on the edge of the conifer wood.
The Spring light was slowly fading and the Mere taking on a pinkish hue as we walked alongside,the reserve was almost empty and the peace and quiet all encompassing.

A wonderfully sunny Spring morning had me ignoring my housework,picking up my camera and disappearing through my woods and over the fields and country lanes near to my house!
The wood was alive with bird song,fresh new shoots were emerging from beneath the sodden,rotting leaves of autumn and I could almost sense the relief at the end of a cruel and harsh winter.
Woodpigeons number over 100 here,I often see them all take to the air from my living room,a staggering sight as they seem...

We at last had a break in the weather so decided to try again for the Crossbills at Delamere,the rain was still falling as we arrived but not as heavy and really only nuisance value on bins etc.We set off along Bakers Way and soon heard the Crossbill calls but only to see a possible flock disappear to another part of the forest.
Undeterred we continued along the way and had good views of a noisy pair of Jays,Great Spotted Woodpecker and Goldcrest before again picking up the Crossbills...

We'd taken the day off to go in search of the Crossbills again but the weather put pay to that....again so instead we took ourselves and the new camera to Marbury for the afternoon.
It was still wet and windy but we had some nice views of displaying Goldeneye as well as 2 pairs of Ruddy Duck on the mere.
Siskins & Goldfinch were viewed from the mereside path hanging in the Alder trees that border the pathway and we also had nice views of Redwing on the ground in between the avenue...
