Farmoor birding day (1 Viewer)

[Musoman]

Over at the farmoor reservoir reserve with the Meade

Looks like a Greenshank

 

[Musoman]

And some more

Cormorant and Tufteds

 

[Musoman]

And lastly some Little Grebes but they were just a touch too far away for nice IQ

And last of all, a gang of Cormorants towards the end of the day, roosting

Love the Cormorant!o
Cookey birds. Lots of fun to watch. We also get Pigmy Cormorants here. I like the Shags on Skye too. Somehow goolish with their bright green eyes and bright yellow mouths.

Thanks Dan - never heard of the Pigmy variety. Are they resident in Austria ?

Shags are not really seen down my end of the UK and I've never been to Skye, though i'd love a trip up there

Don't know much about them, but this is what they look like.


They are about half the size of the regular Cormorants.
