An Early Start

Well I decided that after yesterdays endeavours meant I was stuck in the office all day I would bird so up and early to Hatfield Forest.

A bit chilly but a nice selection of woodland birds (Jay, Bullfinch, Great Spots, Green Woodies, Treecreeper and Nuthatches). Loads of Tits and finches about and surprisingly more REdwing than last time. The lake had 5 Great Crested Grebes the pairing up looks to have happened, good numbers of Pochard and Tufties (the males of the later looking very jaunty!). Pair of Reed Bunting as well.

Round the folks for Roast Beef and all the trimmings, followed by homemade Apple Pie and cream - yum!

Spent the afternoon at Rye Meads. At least 6 snipe (5 showing very well) and one surprise for Rye Meads a Redshank.
