Out to Burwell Fen on a rather grey day.....as was the bird watching. Little of interest around other than two Egyptian Goose and a male Marsh Harrier. A single male Pochard on show and a record number of five Great Crested Grebe resting on the main pool. Other than that a pretty dull day all round!
A quick evening walk along the sidings produced three Blackcap, two Chiffchaff and female Bullfinch.
33 species recorded

Stayed to the local patch this am with a walk along the sidings and then down the river. While recording the call of the local Cuckoo a Hobby passed overhead and along the sidings. A good number of Blackcap singing but the ones that I could see were all male.
