A walk round E. and W. lakes at Cosmeston this morning to avoid the extremely muddy paddocks. The female Scaup was still present on E. lake and was more active than yesterday when she was asleep all the time, plus I had my camera today. The Great Crested Grebes are displaying most days. Of other interest, on blossom at the back of W lake I had my first hoverfly of the year, so I’ll have to start tuning in to those again. I think this one was the ‘Common Drone Fly’ i.e. Eristalis tenax [fingers crossed]. The last pic is of a distant lone Buzzard keeping an eye on the plantation.
