I took the camera to Chichester yesterday – not much for bird life so I took some reflection shots. The water was very still and there’s quite a bit of fall colour still there.
There’s something about water that is so peaceful.
Cheers,

Another visit to Chichester and more evidence Spring is on the way …
First Robin of the year
There were also 4 Bufflehead males and a female floating in the Sumac pond. Two of the males were vying for pairing rights with the female and their antics were quite humourous to watch. She’s playing hard to get, though, and paid them no attention while they scooted and flapped and strutted their stuff.

Bufflehead Ducks - she hasn't made a choice yet 
The Red-winged Blackbirds are showing up again – must mean Spring is on its way!
I stopped in at Chichester today and a male was yelling his head off from the bullrushes. I haven’t seen one there for a few months.
First RWBB at Chichester in 2010!
I am soooo ready for Spring!
