Widewater Nature Reserve, Shoreham Beach: Teal, Little Grebe, Black-headed Gulls, Little Egret, Mallard, Swan, Redshank

There was a good mix of birds today at Widewater: a Herring Gull above for example.

 And a Redshank and Little Egret.

Black-headed Gulls in transition from winter to summer plumage.

There was a Little Grebe above!

 A Little Grebe above, followed by a female Teal.

 Teal are such an attractive little duck.  It is a pity that they can be hunted in autumn and winter.
