An excellent trip up to RSPB Frampton Marsh ๐ with David Nunn produced over 50 species in windy conditions, including Spoonbill, Black Winged Stilt, Lesser Yellowlegs, Little Gulls, Spotted Redshank, Little Ringed Plover, Swifts.
Highlights from a dull day in the Brecks with David Nunn included Tree Pipits, Whitethroats, Willow Warblers, Sedge Warblers, Great White Egret, Garganey, House & Sand Martins, Swallows, Cuckoo (heard but not seen).
Despite the difficult conditions another good visit to RSPB Minsmere ๐ with Geoff & Kim produced good views of Nightingales, Wheatear, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat and this delightful Treecreeper. Nice to bump into several local birders today.
After a good morning around the heath, I popped in to RSPB Minsmere ๐ for refreshment and to catch up on some of the resident birdlife.
Very windy conditions around RSPB Minsmere ๐ today but still some decent birds on show including the drake Eider Duck which dropped into the east scrape for a while.
Another pleasant day around RSPB Minsmere ๐ although difficult conditions at times resulted in migrants being few and far between. The large group of Siskins using the feeders at the visitor centre were a bit of a surprise.
Another good trip around RSPB Minsmere ๐ with Geoff & Kim recorded 66 bird species inc. Sandwich Terns, Bar Tailed Godwit, Kittiwake, Treecreeper, Bearded Tits, + 4 different butterflies & lots of adders. All topped off with another 3 points for the Tractor Birds-what a great day.
