The carpark was full when I arrived at Venus Pools and the hides packed and I then understood the reason. A "Night Heron" was in the area and had been seen and photographed by one photographer with a huge lens at 11:30 hours. It was now 13:00 and he was anxiously waiting for the bird to fly out from the bushes. Other birders, twitchers and photographers had walked to the other side of the pools to take a glimpse of a speck on the landscape. I settled to photograph a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) which was disturbed by noisy Geese scrapping. An Oyster catcher was sitting on three eggs on the scrape as the Lapwings (Vanillas vanillas) flew up and down in pairs making their distinctive call. The Terns were scrapping and there was a sandpiper which I found too difficult to see to photography.
