Sunday 25th October 2026

 A very windy morning with the tail end of a second gale moving across the country. Out of the wind it was pleasant and quite warm. 

We decided to walk around Kingfisher Bridge and on arrival was greeted by nineteen Whooper Swan flying in from the Ely direction. As we walked towards the lagoon it was apparent by the noise that there were more  Whooper on the water. A count of 120 was made from the top of the mound in very windy conditions!  

Large number of Greylag Goose were loading on the edges and a couple of Great White Egret were feeding along with three Little Egret.

A sudden change of plan (lost the dog lead) saw us retreat to the cafe for toasted tea cake, choclate cake and coffee.
