Yet another catch up!

So, here we are in March and no postings since the 1st January! A need for another summary. January saw the dogs and I out and about around Burwell, Wicken and the Ouse Washes, with the occasional trip to Welney. The usual species were present and the most outstanding was finding Coal Tit along the old railway line at Soham.

February produce a single Egyptian Goose at Burwell Fen on the 6th and 37 White-Fronted Goose at Pouts Hall

Over on Baker's Fen on the same date Cetti's Warbler were calling from a number of different locations and a very obliging Short-Eared Owl posed for photos.

A trip to Santon Downham on the 9th February produced good number of Brambling and excellent views of Siskin. Sadly no Lesser Spotted Woodpecker!

10th February: Further reports of 1 possibly 2 Great Grey Shrike saw us out in search for them and finally locating one by West Mere Hide, just beyond the old Tower Hide. It was a very obliging, flitting around the trees of the newly cleared area for a good twenty minutes or so before disappearing.
