Went to Strumpshaw yesterday, an average day by my standards.

Snipe, Tufted Ducks, Pochard etc ... couple of Gt Crested Grebe, few Teal. Took a wander about & had a couple of Siskin pointed out to me as they flew over. Goldcrest, a very tame Robin & some others in the woods as well as a drumming Woodpecker .... though I never actually saw it

Kept up my 100% record of just missing a Bittern.

Marsh Harriers ... 1 M, 1 F

Not bad at all

Congratulations... erm... I mean commiserations on the Bittern.

Took me eight years to get mine!

Is it a lifer or just a Strumpshaw Bittern you keep missing Carlos?

Keep searching after those woodpeckers... it's sounding promising. Swap you one of mine for the Snipe?

You need to break that record to turn an O.K. day into a K.O. day.
Good Luck Carlos

Yes cheers, I saw one about this time last year but since then it's been pretty much blank, leaving just before one turns up or getting there just after it's dropped into the reeds. Oh well ... just have to sit and watch the harriers instead

And it's a good reason to go back again

Look out for the Lesser spot in the wood near to the reception.
