Lewis and I headed over to Posbrook Flood this afternoon for the stilt. On arrival, other birders pointed out a Barn Owl roosting in a hollow Tree. While we were watching it, a Water Vole appeared on the steam in front of us and gave great close up, though breif views.

We walked along to the main flood where the BLACK-WINGED STILT was sleeping on the far side of the water. Eventually it woke up and started feeding. It circled the whole pool eventually ending up close enough to get some decent record shots. Also of note was a female Pintail and 2 Mediterranean Gulls.

Easy to forget just how long those legs are!
