Bittern for the masses..



















A Nuthatch zipped across the road  just beyond Brook. Three of four circling Gos (above), at times quite nice through the scope but too far for the 100-400 or indeed any lens. Just single Hawfinch powering south and a distant singing Woodlark. A full Birdtrack list for this site today.






















The Bittern went for a stroll out in the open much to everyone's delight.
Sadly, still no Bramblings nor Lesser Redpolls but ten or more Reed Buntings and these two spp below on and around the feeders. Elsewhere ten Goldeneyes, fifteen Goosanders, singles of Med Gull, Peregrine and Red Kite, two Ravens, ten Buzzards and a few Brimstones in the scrubbier areas.
Back home the Flower Bee was inspecting all the Daffodil trumpets alongside a Marmalade Fly.
