Heron under attack at Martin Mere

This heron came under repeated attack from the black headed gulls at Martin Mere today. Every time a gull dive-bombed the heron it simply ducked as you can see below.

   

  

A pheasant family were strolling around the edge of the mere

   

 Note that the last 3 images were taken through the double glazed window in the hide! The Green Sandpiper below was also imaged through the double glazed window.

A large number of lapwings were present.
