I managed to get out between 3.30 and 5pm today - light was already failing when I arrived. My aim was to look out for Bittern at dusk in the area where it has been seen regularly in previous winters. Unfortunately no sign but I will keep trying when I have the opportunity.
I did see a flyover Little Egret, 2-3 Grey Wagtail on the Millstream, a calling Chiffchaff, 6+ Goldcrest, several calling Water Rail and a Cettis Warbler. Interestingly no Redwing around.
Light of course too poor for any pictures.....
I have only seen one Redwing so far this year.....I have heard plenty......they are in the hedgerows here taking haws.....
ReplyDeleteHi Steve.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of many Bitterns being around yet, so it's just a matter of time before one returns to the lakes, isn't it?
