Stunning Cetti's Warbler
They were literally everywhere on our walk around Waters' Edge in Barton, singing their little hearts out. The views were, as usual, fleeting but a couple of them disobeyed the Cetti rule and actually sat out ! Best views were have ever had ! Hope you like the pics x
A few from last week
140 whooper swans over Messingham Nature Reserve
Roe Deer
The sand martins have arrived and it is so good to see them !
Lots of hare action in the fields
Fieldfares still here having a drink and a bath, but in a distant flooded field
Chiffchaffs
Bullfinch, such stunning birds
and a lovely male blackcap

The recent high winds have totally destroyed the bird hide at Toft. Only ever used by the fishing club as storage......what a total waste of money and now only good for firewood
White Wagtail
Yellow Wagtails arrived last week, only a few but their numbers will increase now. Will keep our eye on these but afraid no wheatear as yet
