I have been visiting the hides at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve over Christmas and New Year – but no real keepers in 2016 until today.

Like much of the Christmas / New Year period when I was off, it was grey and overcast – before turning to downpour.

Here a the first three still keepers this year.

However – despite having no stills before – I did take some video footage – and here is a quick video too.
