Sunday 18th - Did the WeBS count at Whitlingham in the morning. Counts included Water Rail, 46 Pochard, 126 Teal, 54 Cormorants and a female Red-crested Pochard on Thorpe Broad. In the afternoon, went to do the harrier roost survey again at Sutton Fen; rather cold today, with driving snow at times. At least five Marsh Harriers seen, with at least two of them roosting in the reedbeds here. Also Water Rails, Snipe, Cetti's, Tawny Owl but no Hen Harriers again and still a lack of Bittern sightings, which is becoming a little surprising.
Saturday 17th - no birding today, but a notable sighting at the ski slope where Gimli (aka Duncan) was spotted coming down the slope...
Wednesday 14th - No time to go out at lunch, but a welcome office tick as two Little Egrets flew past the window at dusk, my 57th species from the window!
Tuesday 13th - Quick walk down the lakes revealed three Goosanders on D lake.
