A post containing pictures
Time for the third set of pictures from my second visit to Titchfield Haven nature reserve. After the Kestrel and the Avocet this time I’ve got a Jay sitting in a tree just off the reserve:

As promised yesterday in the post about the Kestrel I spotted at Titchfield Haven nature reserve here are some more pictures of another bird I watched. This time it’s an Avocet, spotted from the Pumfreet Hide feeding in the shallow waters of the South Scrape:

Interesting fact: The Avocet is the RSPB’s emblem. There are about 1,500 breeding pairs in the UK, some at Titchfield Haven.
Another year, another sunny bank holiday weekend Sunday, another visit to Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve. Of course I took a lot of pictures, some of which I’m going to share over a few posts. To start here’s a Kestrel I managed to capture on picture while it was hunting (I think it managed to catch something, unfortunately I didn’t get that part on picture):

More to come of other birds (and may be the area) over the coming days (or may be weeks).
I think this will be the last set from my visit to Titchfield Haven back in August. We had disagreeing Cormorants, Little Egrets, Kingfishers and Black Tailed Godwits, now we’re kind of returning to the first birds. I found a few acceptable pictures of a Cormorant with its catch. Not the greatest shots as they were against the late afternoon sun and I had to process them quite a bit, but I thought they were still worth sharing:
A few seconds later the fish was gone, swallowed in one. As usual click on the pictures for the larger versions.
Finally get around posting another set from my visit to Titchfield Haven over a month ago. So far we had Cormorants, Little Egrets and Kingfishers. Today another wader, the Black-Tailed Godwit. There were quite a few at the reserve, these were feeding quite close to the hide:
