Winter Wetlands...

16/12/07 Simeon and James.
We went to Welney after lunch and picked up 1 female Marsh Harrier and 50+ Black-tailed Godwit, with a female Bahama Pintail (returning from the previous winter). The other hides were flooded so we left for Denver sluice at about 3. Loads of Wigeon were on the Ouse as well as a seal eating a fish! 2 Snipe and a Grey Wagtail were also present. We then went to Tottenhill and saw loads of Pintail, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Greylag geese, 1 Little grebe, 1 Great-crested grebe and will be returning soon to look for smew.
