After a rather dreary start the sun came out. We took the dogs for a long walk at shatterford and gradually the grey skies began to clear. Missy is nearing the end of her season ansd it was so deserted she was allowed off lead to go for a swim. After so many dreary days , it seemed a shame to waste a sunny afternoon so we slipped down to the Lower Test Nature Reserve. Saw quite a few birds, including a distant little egret, some cormorants , shelduck, green sandpiper and snipe. it is easy to miss the snipe as they blend so well into the background.
