A stop off on our way down to Norfolk and what a bird-filled reserve! Spectacular numbers of Lapwing and Wigeon and good numbers of many other species. New birds for this year's list were: Lesser Yellowlegs; Ruff; Brent Geese; Avocet and Black-tailed Godwit.
It was really nice in that most birds were remarkably close - a good place ot sketch and draw but sadly, no time today!
