22/9/2015: Along the Far Side

22/9/2015

Up and out early this morning having completed the school train run! Decided to walk the far bank at Burwell Fen to see what was about and the changes the recent rain had made.

The Far Side: Better known as the Reach Lode

Numbers of wildfowl increasing with flights of Wigeon dropping in throughout our time there. Gadwall very abundant in all the areas particularly at the top near Pout Hall as were Teal and Shoveler

As for waders, a total of 11 Ringed Plover, 12 Black Tailed Godwit, 7 Dunlin, 4 Ruff and 2 Green Sandpiper. Good numbers of Snipe and Little Egret throughout.


Number of Species recorded: 33
