For our March meeting a number of us revisited EWT Fingringhoe Wick, with the hope of seeing a good selection of wading birds.
The following picture shows the group just after we had briefly visited the Kingfisher Hide. Unfortunately, no Kingfishers on this particular day!
The weather was cold but dry, and our planned birdwatching opportunities at several of the hides were somewhat thwarted by the state of the tide, which was high by the time we arrived, leaving little exposed mud on which the waders could feed.
However, overall, we were able to see and identify quite a reasonable number of species, as follows.
As always, thanks to Jane for her record keeping.
| Cettis Warbler (heard not seen) Pheasants (M+F) Moorhen Coot Chiff-Chaff Pochard Teal Shovelers (many M+F) Great White Egret Little Egret | Grey Heron Black Headed Gull Tufted Ducks Magpie Blue Tit Great Tit Blackbird Robin Mallards |
(Unfortunately no other pictures this time.)
