Taking Part!

10/6/06 Welney WWT Leaders: James, Simeon and Matthew.
As we had nothing to do this weekend we decided to get down to Welney just before the World Cup started! From the main observatory we got 4 Little ringed plover, Ruff, a pair of Pochard, 6 Common Tern and 2 Little Egrets. In the second hide we got photos of four young Swallows in the nest and in the Lyle hide we found 10 grey herons all lined up in a ditch. On returning to the main observatory we had amazing views of a singing Reed warbler perched on the tops of reeds less then two metres away! We ended the day by taking part in the BBCs Breathing Spaces project by widening the path for wheelchair users.

An old favourite!

A visit to our old patch provided some nice birds. Skylark 10+, Meadow pipit 30+, Green Woodpecker, Goldcrest, Siskin and Chiffchaff 6+. We are hoping that this breeding season will be good for the pipits and larks as last year there were only 5 pairs of Meadow pipits and 3 pairs of Skylarks.
