Hello everyone,
After spending last week in hospital, I needed to get out in the fresh air. So what better place than my favourite nature reserve. Took one of my birding pals with me. We arrived at 13:30 and departed at 15:30. I had enjoyed getting out the house for a couple of hours. Also saw a birder we both know and exchanged info' etc.
Although there weren't many birds about, for me that wasn't important.
This is what we saw:
Cormorant - 2 [both sat at the top of an electricty pylon]
Grey Heron
Robin
Sand Martin's
Coot + two juvs
Mute Swan
Crow
Wood Pigeon
Reed Bunting
Gadwall
Pochard
Shelduck
B-H Gull
Lapwing
C.Buzzard
Common Tern
Ruddy Duck
L-T Tit
Blackcap
Tufted Duck
Chaffinch
Canada Goose
Mallard
Swift
Blackbird
Magpie
Grey Squirrel
There were a few birders there for a change, the good weather has brought them out.
Regards
