Tuesday 11th April
It's been a while since I ventured out to Burwell Fen. A combination of the after effects of covid and decorating the house has made it a challenge to get out and about.
This morning Annie and I walked the bank up to Pout's Hall. The water levels are still high with little of the mud to attract the waders and sure enough other than Lapwing none were present. In fact numbers of wildfowl were down, sadly no Garganey, and the highlight was a brief drop in by a Common Crane before it moved off over Tubney Fen.

By the car park were two very vocal Grey Partridge and a Corn Bunting calling as well.
