This was my first visit in nearly eighteen months and Eddie's in five and a half years! The drive there was quite foggy so we were anticipating having a wasted journey, thankfully the fog had all but lifted when we got to the reserve. Only saw two birders all time we were there plus a work party. We arrived at midday and stayed till 15.40.The following are what we saw: Marsh Harrier - 10 Kestrel - 3 Sprawk - 2 Barn Owl - 1 with prey Pheasant - 3 + one black one Blue Tit - 3 Teal - 18 Wigeon - 29 Mallard - 37 + 1 hybrid Gadwall - 3 pair Shoveler - 21 [15m 6f] Common Snipe - 54 Coot - 3 Black-tailed Godwit - 1 Pink Feet - 460 [ 3 skeins over of 14,23 and 21 plus others nearby ] Magpie - 3 Blackbird - 11 Stock Dove - 2 Lapwing - 118 over west Golden Plover - 17 over east Wood Pigeon - 4 Crow - 2 Robin - 1 Shelduck - 14 Reed Bunting - 1 Moorhen - 4 Tree Spugs - 7 Redwing - 3 Fieldfare - 16 Dunnock - 1 Although the weather wasn't great it wasn't as cold as in mid-week and we enjoyed the fresh air. Kind regards John and Eddie |
