Really nice morning so decided to give the dogs a treat and head out to the lower section of Burwell Fen. Good numbers of Reed Bunting around and a pair of Stonechat showing well.
A couple of Kestrel were hunting over the fens but little else.

The early part of the week has slipped by without anything to report bird wish. Monday spent doing a refresher First Aid course which went well; good to see I could still pump that chest with the old vigour of the past.
Tuesday 9th out to Burwell Fen to cover the lower section. Little seen except a pair of Stonechat and a couple of Common Gull.
Wednesday 10, back to Welney for another course! BBC in to film the Cranes but non present!! Quick trip to the Main Hide produced a couple of Marsh Harrier (male and female). Wigeon around but not in great numbers.
Thursday 11th
Freedom! Nothing on other than finishing the girl's money boxes! So off to Cock-up and along the Burwell Lode to the Horse Bridge and back down Harrison's Drove. Cetti's calling but not showing and a small flock of Long-tailed Tit moving through the hedges but again little else. Never mind the dogs had a good walk and it was a glorious morning if breezy!
