This month try and take a photo of marsh harriers, avocets and perhaps some of those small birds that have returned from Afica like the warblers.
Marsh harriers - April is one of the best months to try and get a shot of different sorts of marsh harrier behaviour. They are are spending much of the day patrol the reeds with a little bit of displaying thrown in the mix. They are also bringing in a little bit of something occasionally to decorate their nest. So much activity sometimes brings the marsh harriers closer to the hides. Head to first hide for those harriers directly in front of reception or to singleton for those down there.
Avocets - This week has seen avocet numbers increase dramatically with many now present on marshland most of the day. Like the marsh harriers there is a lot of behaviour to look out for. For the closest views head to marshland but you might want to check out ousefleet as well.
Spring migrants (warblers etc) - This past week more of our spring migrants have arrived. Over the coming weeks these will build up and it is probably best to try and catch that photo before the leaves and grasses start to grow. Look out for willow warbler, chiffchaff, grasshopper warbler, sand martin, swallow, yellow wagtail etc.
Please share your photos by adding them to our gallery or if you have really good ones then you might want to keep these and enter our Humber photo competition.
Next month is for marsh harriers doing the food pass, more avocets, more warblers and perhaps barn owls hunting in the evenings!
