Wet and windy!

Hello

A rather wet and horrid day out there today and bird sightings were perhaps unremarkably quite limited!

Jacob ventured a little way in to the Scaldwell Bay at Pitsford Reservoir and saw a Great White Egret, five Whooper Swans, four Pintail, a hundred and forty Pochard and a Black-tailed Godwit.

Eric braved the conditions at Titchmarsh Reserve and was pleased to discover three Chiffchaffs along Harpers Brook. A few Little Egrets plus the usual raptors and wildfowl added some variety and a visit to Deene Lake provided views of six Snipe, five Green Sandpipers and eight Shelduck.

Eleanor's walk at Harrington Airfield this afternoon was enough to locate a rather soggy Short-eared Owl which flushed up from the rough triangle of vegetation just east of Bunker 1.

The forecast for tomorrow doesn't look any better so some more images from the south of France...

Regards
