On arrival at Tern Hide the nice, bright conditions meant that it took no time to find the Black-necked Grebe at the far end and a rather poorly looking Pink-footed Goose on its own up on the grass; later the second bird, an adult, appeared amongst the other geese. Two single Ravens went over and the same (looking) 1cy Caspian Gull was on the island as per last week before flying off southwards. Brief chat with Dave Cuddon regarding lack of close subjects for photography.
One or two Green Sandpipers and Grey Wagtails but no pipits today.
South side was mostly birdless with little on the feeders, still no Bitterns, nor any sign of Walter. This Siskin above was one of about ten feeding high in the trees but not too inclined to use the feeders.
Lunch in a second visit to Tern Hide produced the BNG briefly in front of the hide (above) and this Pochard was one of Bob's count of 118: the only place I recall seeing that sort of number was WWT Welney.
Again the RBG came into roost soon after I left.
