Colourful Bigwaters

My first trip to Bigwaters this year, as my mate only gets one day a week off we can't pick and choose what that day that will be so as seems to be the case at the moment it ended up being another silly ISO day(dull and cloudy).The feeding station was quite busy as we had a surprise visit from this smashing bird

My first this year and what a bird a real pleasure to see.

Another colourful bird

not so colourful but by golly there quick, then the party was quickly over when this young lady dropped in .

The water on the lake looked black in the dull grey skies the usual fowl were present with some nice Goldeneye and a few White fronted geese on the far bank.
