2nd February - Chilly start, hazy sunshine, 8C, light SW

Welney WWT

If you have not been to Welney this winter you should go, its alive with birds and other wildlife, a day there is too short.  Plus roaming the lanes for the Swans, particularly for the Bewicks Swan.

Short-eared Owls were showing well at times, and Cattle Egrets were feeding very close.  Plenty of Lapwings and Golden Plovers around, along with Black-tailed Godwits and three Dunlin.  All the duck species you would expect, Marsh Harrier, Buzzard and Kestrel.

Tree Sparrows are still present here coming to the feeders with a good number of House Sparrows.

A scarce visitor, a Black-necked Grebe, was showing well.




So many more species to see - just go!!
