It was a nice day, so time to catch up with what is happening at Mere Sands, especially before they double the parking fee in a week's time!
There wasn't a lot to photograph of great interest and I took all my pictures at the start and end of my circuit;
Grebes again

I then moved to the next hide, missing a pair of Kingfishers by minutes!
Next it was lunch on a bench, overlooking farm fields. I noticed some Hares in the field a distance away. As I watched, a pair stood up on hind legs and started to box....made the day, but a pity it was a bit far away for the camera.
The last ones near the car park, some signs of spring:

There were also bumble bees, butterflies, mostly Brimstone and sounds of birdsong...Chiffchaff and woodpecker drumming...spring is here
