Trystan's 2014 list (1 Viewer)

23/3/14

Attenborough NR
Had to go to a wedding in Leicestershire yesterday and having been to Attenborough reserve in Notts a couple for a couple of twitches while never spending any birding time there, I decided to call in on the way home today.

Lots of chiffchaff and a couple of Cettis singing but the year ticks came in the semi plastic form of:

152. Red crested pochard
153. Egyptian goose
 
29/3/14

Hoping the shore larks would be reported at bempton again today but stayed closer to home waiting for news which never came. Most birds seemed to be one step ahead today missing iceland gull at Swilly followed by spoonbill at blacktoft.

Swillington ings

154. Sand martin

NC Wetlands

155. Little ringed plover
 
01/4/14

Back in the UK after a fantastic trip, lots of birds to follow once I've sorted my list but went down to Gatwick airport via Cambridgeshire for this bird although I'm never too happy having potential plastics on the list, especially lifers.

Fen Drayton

156. BAIKAL TEAL
