Best birds today in the Abbey Mead area was the sighting of a Bittern that flew across the lake just before the snow started falling at 9.30am and the red-head Smew.The last named can be hard to locate even though the open water it is on is quite small.
Good numbers of Lapwing are still present along the river and the fox was seen again.So far it has been a strange cold spell,no hard weather wildfowl or Grebes,apart from the one Smew and no hard weather movements to speak of.
Hi Alan
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you saw a bittern on Abbey Mead, I couldn't see the smew today but I bumped into an old acquaintance of yours down by the river, not sure if I remember his name right but would it be Roger Parker?

Well done with the Bittern Alan. Gald to hear it is still around. Some strong NEs over the weekend - surely that has got to push something good in....
