I'm giving up trying to keep a record of every visit that I make to the fen as, at the moment, there seems to be very little around and so to report. So for the next few weeks I'm just going to record those visits that produce some interesting observations.
This mornings visit produced two
Avocet feeding on the lower pool by the flooded tree. Last time I'd seen any here was on the 13th July 2018.

The pools along the path contained a good number of
Shoveler and
Shelduck with
Gadwall and
Teal also present. The number of
Wigeon were significantly down.
On the pool behind the barn (as it used to be) a group of Little Egret were displaying.

Ruff (three Reeve) were feeding towards centre of the pool.

It was good to hear my first drumming
