An all right trip!

19/11/06 Welney WWT Leaders; Simeon and James.
I got dropped off at Welney just after lunch and went straight to the main observatory. Tonnes of Pochard, Whooper Swan and all the other usual stuff. The only highlights were a Redshank, a Merlin and a Marsh Harrier! Then I texted Dad to pick me up and James came with him. Just as we were driving past all of the Golden Plovers on Hilgay Fen, an owl flew over the road. It was a Long - Eared! Although it gave pretty poor views it was a lifer for James and a yearer for me. It had been a brilliant day with Denver Sluice being the highlight (see other trip report).
