After a long day surveying, it was time to 'chill' before heading back home. So me and Tony put a mist nest across a stretch of river where he had caught Dippers before. After about an hour we had a respectful catch of 3 Dippers, 1 Kingfisher, 2 Grey Wagtails and this Giant!!
A Grey Heron (I know what you're thinking - how do I make short and wellies look so good). Earlier in the day we had manged to catch a few more birds: 7 Meadow Pipit, 3 Chaffinches, 4 Goldcrests, 2 Wrens, 1 Treecreeper and 1 Blackbird.
I was also so a great day for spotting raptors, by the end of the day I'd seen 1 Merlin, 1 Hobby, 2 Sparrowhawk, 4 goshawks, 2 Kestrels and numerous Buzzards and Red Kites! A damn good day!
