A morning at Summer Leys
I had a great morning today, first time I was able to walk round for the first time in ages due to a few medical issues.
I can’t say I saw much in the way of unusual birds, but I did get to see a good few birds, and I saw the amazing site of a colony of House Martins – I even got a picture of one leaving it’s nest (a hole in an old Railway platform) 
I arrived about 7am, and stayed until 10:30.
Walking round that early was amazing, the noise was incredible. A bit late for the full dawn chorus, but impressive all the same. There was as always millions of Gulls, but also Redshank, Plovers, and Lapwings, as well as numerous ducks and swans.
I got to the Bird feeder hide just as a lady was giving the small bird their breakfasts. And many of the pictures I took were of them tucking in.
It’s really inspired me to get off my backside and get back out there volunteering. So more of that to come.
