28/05/22-Brilliant afternoon at Blashford Lakes

I came here for the first time in a few months today as there were a few birds reported I needed to see this year. I saw one of those early on when scanning over Ibsley water from the tern hide, a pretty female Red-crested Pochard. It was one I was very pleased to see this year and I got some nice views of it hanging about with a group of Coots and Tufted Ducks at times too. I saw this bird some more when ending the visit to Blashford Lakes at the tern hide later on. I took the third picture in this photoset of this bird with Tufted Ducks. Also of interest to me on Ibsley water was Black Swan, Egyptian Geese, Common Terns which I saw flying, diving and still on posts over and on both Ibsley water and Ivy lake today which was spectacular and beautiful to see and a few Great Crested Grebes with two doing little bits of the courtship dance.

When coming out of the hide I looked for a Hobby which my Mum and someone else had seen flying around at the start. I went up the viewing platform up the hill and after a few minutes was delighted when this agile raptor flew over. I then spent a glorious few minutes watching this bird glide high in the sky in my binoculars for a prolonged period. It was such a breathtaking sight seeing this key spring time bird. Blashford Lakes is where we first ever saw one in our early birdwatching days in 2008, and we saw one here again in 2011 but in this real strong few years the last few years that we have seen Hobby regularly year on year and more than once in some years in we hadn’t seen one at Blashford during it and I had a feeling we might this year. It’s a new favourite bird of mine added to that list in January after those strong years and that’s now the 32nd of my 34 favourite birds I have seen this year. As I said the other day the remaining two are ones found in parts of the country we won’t be going this year so it feels fantastic to think I’ve done as well as it was possible to for seeing favourite birds of mine this year a key part of any birdwatching year for me. Near the visitor centre today I saw another raptor on my list of favourite birds a Red Kite flying high.

At the centre in the flower bed I enjoyed photographing some sun-kissed foxgloves and other pink flowers the latter I took the sixth picture in this photoset of. On the way here in the car and later in the visit to Blashford today I saw foxgloves so it was great to see this one of my favourite flowers for the first time this year a flower I have loved for so long I was pleased with the photo I got of it with my macro lens a prominent flower photo I’ve taken so far this year. I always see them as a signpost to summer which felt great to see on such a lovely mostly sunny and warm day. I also enjoyed seeing lots of nice herb-Robert looking especially stunning in the sunlight and nice together as I took and tweeted a photo of, wood avens, red campion, water dropwort I believe, many oxeye daisies including painting the grassland well, nice little forget-me-not, I believe green alkanet, little pink willowherb and stitchwort I believe too and vetch today in the world of flowers. Ragwort looked nice on the journey too.

In a great bit of meadow which I took the seventh picture in this photoset of before reaching ivy north hide where I observed the diving terns I enjoyed a Common Blue butterfly in the lovely long grass, with I believe a Green-veined White seen past the woodland hide. On the way to this hide also I heard and saw a stunning male Blackcap well. From the woodland hide of course I got epic views of a Great Spotted Woodpecker which I took the first picture in this photoset of. I also took the second, fifth, eighth and ninth pictures in this photoset of landscapes here today there were such beautiful views with the gleaming blue water and bright green vegetation, and the fourth picture in this photoset of a beautiful Common Blue damselfly.

From ivy south hide where I got chatting to a nice gentleman I enjoyed seeing adorable Black-headed Gull chicks on a nesting raft. Some special views of another lovely species I have seen chicks of this spring and lately and I took the tenth picture in this photoset of the adult with one. Then over ivy lake here a Hobby, maybe another maybe the same as before paraded over the water. Wonderful views of this rustic and sophisticated falcon. It has been a big year of falcons for me what with my return to Winchester working more regularly twice a week getting to see the Peregrines and with my first Merlins seen this year the very fact for the first time ever I can now say I have seen four falcons this year and today’s Hobby experience added so well to that. Its been a brilliant year of birds of prey for me already with some incredible species seen.

We ended the visit in the tern hide looking for another major bird reported here lately and thanks to the directions and help of someone else looking we spotted this beautiful distinctive female bird, a Long-tailed Duck. It was a joy and pleasure to watch this surface a few times, a mighty bird for me and one of my best seen this year. This took my year list to milestone 175 for me on my earliest ever date in a year with today being the most ticks I got in a day since we went to Skomer Island the first day of our two trips landing there this year. This capped off an amazing day at Blashford. I always feel good to get here at this time of year as during spring and summer with me only having the weekends and leave to go further afield to watch wildlife we focus on butterflies a lot too and I don’t visit here as much as I do in the winter. But it’s so great here in the spring too with it so full of life today which I really appreciated.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: My first of one of my favourite birds the Hobby this year, my first Red-crested Pochard and Long-tailed Duck of the year, four more of my favourite birds the Great Spotted Woodpecker, Red Kite, Great Crested Grebe and Little Egret, Egyptian Goose, Greylag Goose, two Mute Swans foraging in a lily pond type area which the ninth picture shows, Black Swan, Mallard, lots of Tufted Ducks, Coot, Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Common Tern, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Starling, Pied Wagtail, smashing Bullfinch, Blackcap, Great Tit well, possible Dunnock, Swallow, Woodpigeon, a fair few Jackdaws, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Common Blue butterfly, probable Green-veined White, Common Blue damselfly, a dragonfly I couldn’t quite tell which it flew fast, another dragonfly seen quickly which I believe was one of favourites the Broad-bodied Chaser, spider, possible wasp and Grey Squirrel.

Duckling cuteness by Regina Via Flickr: Last weekend when I was at the neatby park I saw some ducklings but at the time only had my macro lens with me. So I returned to the park yesterday morning and luckily found them again near the place where I had first met them. This time I was equipped with my long telezoom lens, the ducklings were quite cooperative too and I could take a series of photos. Maybe I will post a few more occasionally. These ducklings are young red-crested pochards (Netta rufina), a species I don't see very often here, which made the encounter even more exciting.

Moody - Red-Crested Pochard by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: I thought this male Red-crested Pochard looked like he was in a bad mood or really deep in thought. This photograph was taken in the south of Spain. The Red-Crested Pochard is a large diving duck. They feed mainly by diving or dabbling. They eat aquatic plants, and typically upend for food more than most diving ducks.-wiki -Netta rufina
