Gosforth Park

 A couple of weeks back I paid a visit to the park and  was off to an early start just as well really having opened the shutter I saw this Barn Owl across the far side ,I stumbled for the camera to get a shot switched it on and managed one with no idea of the settings this is the result.




Having sat for quite some time and been joined by many others I finally got the chance to see the Purple Heron that had been here for quite some time ( a first for me )



Watching the weather forecast( for what its worth ) we decided to try our luck on Wednesday of this week we were blessed with a pair of Kingfishers on the small pool adjacent to the Ridley hide and managed a nice Kingfisher reflection.


 because the pool was sheltered  it turned out quite nice ,then on the way out we came across Old Nick in the corn field who was very obliging.



I have just given him that nickname because of the nick in his right ear.

Thanks for looking 
all the best
Joe
