Watch out for: Wildfowl, Grebes & Gulls
We were Cambridge Fens bound this Sunday morning, so en-route we decided to call in at this great RSPB reserve famed for its Gold Orioles in the summer months. This time of year it is a different story, the large open water can attract wintering Ducks, Grebes and Gulls.
We were very lucky in the fact there was a much reported Black-necked Grebe still over on the far bank, too distant to photograph, but never the less a good bird to see.
On the water we could see most of the British winter ducks, including Pintail, Wigeon, Teal & Pochard. No notable Gulls, but the Great-crested Grebes were show signs of courtship behaviour.
Life bird count: 399. Year bird count: 106. Month bird count: 25.
