Dorney
A cold but brilliant afternoon drew me down to the Jubilee River. A larger number of golden plovers was present on the flood today, sometimes taking to the air with musical calls. Four landed close enough for a record shot.
The chiffchaff in the picture below is possibly the Siberian individual. It was taken when the sun was behind a cloud.
When the sun came out it flooded the reed-bed with golden light which, though beautiful, gave a completely different idea of plumage colour.
