East Anglia Trip

A full on weekend birding based in Suffolk produced some excellent results. Wicken Fen and Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire were new sites to add to our growing database. So many highlights including White Stork, flying Bitterns, hunting Hobbies and stunning Turtle Doves at Fowlmere and Titchwell

Lesser Spotted Woodpecker

Great views of a male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker at Moore nature reserve today. Also seen were Green Woodpecker in flight and several Greater Spotted Woodpeckers. Bittern seen briefly at Marbury Country Park

Firecrest and Black-necked Grebe

Mixed bag this weekend. Arctic Tern Swillington Ings. Bittern heard booming. A flock or about 15 Yellow Wagtails and singing Blackcap Fairburn Ings. Firecrest, Avocet sitting on eggs and Yellow Wagtail at Spurn.
Today a quick visit to Altrincham sewage works produced 2 Black-necked Grebes and yet more Yellow Wagtails.
