Titchfield Haven



We went to Titchfield Haven this afternoon and it was beautiful. After some heavy showers and hail this morning we had lots of sunshine. It was a bit breezy on the coast but we were sheltered in the sanctuary. We saw a few elegant avocets, lapwings and some really cute little cootlets .(baby Coots) I also saw my first reed bunting .Whats more they had Ginger ice crem in the cafe, my favourite!

What a great day! NPR ran a story tonight about a gated community in California trying to take action against a group of coots that took up residence in the community's pond. Apparently, the human residents there have decided that coot poop ruins their pristine walk. Amazing, no?

I remember seeing these birds all the time when I lived in England. I had to look into what they were because I haven't seen any like that here in New England. I was surprised at the number of Canadian geese out there, though.
