AT LAST!

22/1/06 Welney WWT Leaders: Simeon and James.
After having an O.K. trip to Titchwell yesterday, we decided to turn up the heat a little and headed straight for the ten Tundra Bean geese that were only ten minutes away from where we lived. We got a respectable total of 50 species including; 2000+ Whooper Swans, 2000+ Bewick's Swans, 10 Bean Geese (I didn't manage a decent photo as the birds were very distant and the lighting conditions were poor, but I was pleased we had at last seen them), 40+ Pintail (A brave male came right up onto the bank during the feed and we managed to get some super shots of him), 30+ Dunlin, a single Ruff and 5+ Common Snipe. All in all a pretty good trip.
(We missed a Bittern that was seen there, perching in a tree in the morning!!!)
