Visited Brandon marsh this afternoon, hoping to see the Bittern. Well, I did see it in flight as it moved across the reed bed, a short but great view.
A pair of Bullfinch were in the marsh brambles, while 12+ Siskin fed in the alders, later on up to 8 Linnets sat in the tree tops. 5 Stock Doves were in their usual tree and a Kestrel flew over. A Great spotted woodpecker called and a single Jay flew along the tree line. A Coal Tit was on the feeders with the other usual species.
On the water were the usual ducks etc. 3 Goosander, c20Shoveler, 16 Pochard, lots of Teal, 2 Shelduck, 4 Gadwall, 8+ Cormorant, mixed Greylag and Canada Geese flock, 70+ Lapwing, 4 species of gull and a Grey Heron.
