These small waders turn up there occasionally (last August was my previous sighting). I managed a few frames against an impossibly dark background.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/sandpiper_1504115027.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>I had better luck with some of the larger birds. This greylag, for example, exhibiting what I take to be courtship behaviour&#8230; neck stretched forward and generally showing off (noisily).<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/greylag_goose_1504115052.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>I also grabbed a few shots of the ubiquitous gulls. This one of a gull coming in to land is my pick of the bunch.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/gull_1504115120.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>And for the final shot, a moorhen among the gravestones. They look vaguely incongruous in that setting, but it captures the gentle pace of village life. Looking at this you&#39;d never guess that we&#39;re within spitting distance of a major trunk road (that divides the village) and 22,500 capacity football stadium.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img
