Out this morning to walk from bridge to bridge at Burwell Fen. A strong wind this morning made for interesting conditions but for very little birds! Good numbers of Swallow moving south with House Martin mixed in. A couple of Kestrel were hunting over the fen and a Skylark was put up from beside the path and that, other than the usual crows, pigeons and occasional Grey Heron, was pretty much it.
Thursday 20th
A very blowy and drizzly morning saw us at Baker's Fen. Walked up Harrison's Drove finding a number of Cetti's Warbler in the ditches and two Reed Warbler along with them. Four Blackcap (2 male) working their way through the bushes along with a number of Blue and Great Tit and a couple of Chiffchaff. A nice Buzzard was sitting in one of the nearby bushes and sadly I'd left the camera in the car because of the rain!
A Redshank was calling but I was unable to locate it.
Friday 21st
Most of the day at Welney. A total of seven Common Crane moving between the main site and Lady Fen. Good numbers of Redshank moving around with 13 at one time from the Friend's Hide. Highlight of the visit was the Pallid Harrier that put in a number of good appearances.

A Chiffchaff was in the garden this afternoon and settled in the bushes near the french doors. I was able to capture a nice range of photos, even if they were taken through the glass of the door.
