Week commencing 3rd December

Monday 3rd

Weather: 11° C, Wind SW, 15 mph, Cloud 90%, Visibility :7 miles, Light drizzle.

Very quiet at Burwell Fen this morning. Little to see on the lower section which still remains dry. As we were walking up to the top end a number of Water Rail were calling along with a couple of very vocal Cetti's Warbler, one that actually showed itself.

The waterfowl were all gathered over on the far side of the flooded area but not in vast numbers and limited to Wigeon, Teal and Mallard with a couple of Shoveler mixed in.

A male Marsh Harrier was cruising the far side. This male was the first I've seen since 1st November.
