Beautiful Birds ~ Home Patch and the Shotley Peninsula

This Blackbird has a leucistic stripe on his wing - it isn't just the light in the photo.

We usually have a couple of Dunnocks in the garden ...

... and the Wren has reappeared ...

... such a delightful little bird ...

... to have popping up in unexpected corners.
Yesterday afternoon I drove along the River Orwell ...

... to the Shotley Peninsula ...

... passing this flock of Canada Geese.

I took a short detour to visit Pin Mill ...

... where the sun was shining on the water ...

... and I could hear a Curlew in the distance.

There were a couple of Redshanks ...

... wading about in the mud.

I'm puzzled by this bird ... is it Red-, Green- or other?

Such a lovely place ...

... to be ...

... on a sunny afternoon in winter.
