First trip to DMNR on first May.
You might have guessed that I quite enjoy a quiet walk along the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve. My first May visit there was on first May. As usual please tap on an image to see it in its gallery carousel. One of the first things I spotted, other than a couple of Blackbirds…

DMNR, 25 & 26 March
I managed to get a few nice sightings at Denso Marston Nature Reserve over the weekend. A Chiffchaff was slowly circling its area and calling so I sat down for a while and waited for it to come round and show itself. As usual click on an image to see it in the gallery carousel.…
