Fine misty mizzle at Cossie this morning wasn’t really very conducive for photography, or indeed much bird action. I was pleased to spot a Tree Pipit alight in a dead tree by W. paddock, next to the Mile Road, and managed to grab a shot before it moved on. There was a Green Woodpecker in the same tree but if flew off b4 I could grab a photo. There were a few Sand Martins feeding over W lake. At the dipping pond a recent Moorhen chick was being fed by an older sibling from a brood hatched earlier in the year by the same female. Indeed I suspect that the fem concerned had actually had 3 broods.
