Being in a hide I managed not to frighten this muntjac deer as it wandered about the reserve at North Cove, but it certainly stayed alert, its ears picking up the slightest sound.

Re: Birds And Animals
Took this morning's constitutional t'other side of the bridge! Managed to walk the length of the South Pier (as far as you can!) - and back again!
Saw this bird (see below) and managed to get a few photos despite the strong, cold wind - which didn't help when the zoom was extended!
Had a look at various bird ID websites and think this could be a Turnstone (?).

Re: Birds And Animals
In fact, it could well be a Ruddy turnstone

Further to the aforementioned birdy - having delved a bit further (RSPB) I'm sticking with my first thought - until I'm able to consult an ornithologist (providing I can find one!).

Re: Birds And Animals
When you are that way again Trigger keep a look out for a Turnstone with one leg. 'Stumpy' the wife and I call him (could be a herTrigger wrote:Took this morning's constitutional t'other side of the bridge! Managed to walk the length of the South Pier (as far as you can!) - and back again!
) and he has been around for a few months but I haven't managed to get a picture yet. We have even spotted him in Oulton Broad...unless there is two unlucky Turnstones with a leg missing ...so he seems to be managing alright just hopping about Saw this deer on Oulton Marshes...

Re: Birds And Animals
The sunken boat on the canal has new "renters". The first photo looks as if there's two Coypu,the other two photos five.
