Abberton & Landguard – 30th March 2008

A quick afternoon excursion this weekend to pick up some reported year birds. First off to Abberton Reservoir where a Tundra Bean Goose has been associating with some Graylag and was very (if not too) obliging on the causeway water front, also on the water were; Garganey, Red-necked Grebe, Great-crested Grebe, Goldeneye and a very suspect female Red-crested Pochard. Onward to Landguard and one of the best UK Firecrests we’ve seen, along with Northern Wheatear, Black Redstart and Meadow Pipit. Life bird count: 360 Year bird count: 121 Month bird count: 98
