Hagnaby Lock 1st November 2009

This morning it was raining heavily and quite windy.  Just the job for an hour or so of birdwatching.  Hagnaby seemed inviting.  So 10.30 - 11.45am found me in the hide.  Well, the wind was a bit stronger than I expected and the rain a lot heavier.  But there was some birdlife about.  Definitely good weather for ducks.  About 50 teal and about 70 mallard.  Three cormorants in the dead trees on the island.  The occasional moorhen and backward flying gulls.  But, sheltering on the island was a really handsome sparrowhawk.  I tried to get a decent photo, but the wind was too strong to avoid camera shake.  So what you see is the best of over 100 shots.
