Adys Blog: Fabulous Frampton

Frampton Marsh RSPB reserve always delivers. It's a great place to go to chill out, enjoy a walk or even just sit and chat to other like minded people in the visitor centre. The visitor centre has great views over the Lagoons and scrapes and have Scopes set up for you to use so you don't even need to bring binoculars.

The Hides spread out around the reserve allow you to get close to the birds and are a great vantage point for photography.

Here's just a few shots I have taken recently which give a flavour of the reserve..

A Skylark. Normally high in the sky chirruping away this one came to ground to feed.

The same Skylark. Notice the crest on it's head.

Lots of Waders. Mostly Redshank (right) but on this occasion a Redshank is joined by a Sanderling.

A lovely side profile of a Redshank.

You never know what you will see...here was a Black Tailed Godwit
