Pair Pintail, Little Ringed Plover, Sparrowhawks, Oystercatchers

Not a bad morning.  A pair of Pintail were on the water when I arrived, found by Andrew.  We watched these for a while and then walked towards the reserve, when two Sparrowhawks displayed above us.  I then left Andrew and walked around to the Pavilion spit, where a Little Ringed Plover was the first for the year. A few other bits and bobs added to the day's interest, including 3 noisy Oystercatchers and some Mute Swans in flight, photographed at ISO4000, which is a lot for my camera...
