A Cuckoo near Hertford this morning ⁦Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust⁩ ⁦Herts Bird News⁩

My first time at a Bird of Prey Centre today. These birds are simply works of art. After years of seeing them wild at a distance, it was mesmerising.

A few more Gropper shots from this morning in Herts. Olympus 300mm f4 Pro & 1.4X.

A Yellowhammer having a bath in a muddy puddle.

A long way off, but a Yellow Wagtail is back on a track near Bramfield. Hopefully they’ll breed this year, as none stayed last year due to the hedgerow being butchered and no suitable crop fields. ⁦Herts Bird News⁩ ⁦Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust⁩
